Same goes for S5.
When you guys did the cgminer update for the S1 and the S3 I thought I recalled that the anonymous donor had given enough coin to update the S5 as well, did that never end up happening?
anonymous? No
I'll probably send back the last BTC someone said was for the S5, one day - I've never done the S5.

It's also got to the point where running an S5 is a total loss so I never have my half dead one on any more.
Bitmain was going to send me another working S5 (mine only has one working board), then they said they'd send me an S7, then neither ever happened.
Now that I have 2 Avalon6s there's nowhere I could even put an S7 - uses too much power and I have 2 A6s taking up the available power without rearranging my place every time I switch something on.
S5s and S7s make WAY too much noise.

Pool takes priority and I certainly haven't had time to spend a day or 2 on anything else for a long time.
