My ASICMINER USB Erupter showed up about an hour ago.
Been playing with the Icarus timing settings still not quite got it right yet.

Obviously yes I'm getting around 300MH/s out of it.

Currently best settings are for anyone wondering while I sort it out:
 --icarus-options 115200:2:1 --icarus-timing short

Looks like they built that batch by hand. Looks like they held the soldering iron on the board a little too long. Got a little flux they didn't clean up on R2 there as well.

While these are neat, and I'd really love to have one. 1.99BTC is still a bit high to ask of a USB device I think. Especially in the initial development stages where they have problems with heat.
