G-Black asic scrypt miner on windows from zoomhash

[csggene3]

Just got this scrypt miner from zoomhash. It comes used, but had the psu and a raspberry pi included. I guess the raspberry pi is integrated inside the case because there is a little usb cord poking out of the fan grill in back. I plugged it up on windows 8, but comes up with a series of drivers needed. I've already installed the ftdi drivers pointed to from zeusminer's website.

I even tried to install the si labs drivers that work for the block erupters.

Those devices in my device manager just won't pick up a driver... Any help or direction would be much appreciated. =)

Did anybody else jump in on these as well?

I picked it up for just under $300 with $60 for shipping. It arrived within a couple days, but was shipped from southern california to southern california. They advertised it on the webpage as on sale from $2000, and now shows sold out on the site. Just not sure if it was a good buy or a foolish jump... Won't know either way until I can get this thing running...

I have some mining software and a pool in mind, though direction towards that once the drivers are resolved would be great as well!

These are GRIDSEEDS not ZEUSMINER

Thanks for the pointer, Captain. Ok, drivers installed for COM ports, now miner and pool? Direction?

Just use the built-in pi.  Connect to the network, should get an IP from DHCP, navigate to that IP in a browser, input pool info, done.

or use this if your using a PI to run it

I had to use that with all my Zeusminer  but it should support the G black as well, both are by the same  company now .
