since Bitcoin is a Proof of Work coin, here's some proof of work.

Here you can see the new thing with 8 chips. I haven't debugged the buck yet so it's still running off the hacked '53 but that's okay. Shouldn't take long to work it out. Comm lines are run straight into my hacked S5 controller. I'm not sure what's up with this guy, if it's comm noise or what, but it doesn't get full speed. Ran overnight at 150MHz (should have seen 66GH) but only regsitered 52GH or so. Now it's set at 300MHz and I should see 132GH (or at the 80% metric set by the previous test, 106GH) but I'm only seeing about 87GH. It broke 100GH earlier but I think it's getting tired. Not sure what's up. But it's running. I have found one error on the board, I forgot to level-shift the chip reset coming out of the microcontroller, but it's hashing which tells me all the worrisome and complex parts are pretty much right. My level shifters are all good. Still need to test dividing PLL LDO voltage but I'll worry about that after the local buck is working.

Merry Christmas, chumps.

lookie at that gorgeous thing! its a 1st step, once you get the buck bolted down, and get the controller talking to the chips and auxiliaries (temp sensor in the middle yes?) all you need to do is retool for the next line of chipsets to work with.
