I am looking at this as a way to expand on the ASIC miners that I'll probably end up receiving later than this stuff ships!
I am going to be running my rig off a Raspberry Pi, usb hub and CGminer
Will I be able to run my current ASIC set up of 20 Burnins & 2 Klondike 16s and the Drillbit off the same hub, having them all hashing away together using the same worker?
I'm in the same boat. Some day (or rather month) I'll have a Burnin 20 set up and a BFL. Can we run them with a Drillbit? If not it's not a big deal, but nice to know.
I think a lot of guys are open to something new, especially in light of the ongoing Avalon and BFL debacle. It seems like a nice system you are working on, just a question of profitability with the difficulty rising so much. Has anyone run numbers on the December difficulty and profitability?

Hey guys.
Yes, your Drillbit boards will happily coexist with other ASICs. We are still in the process of sorting out the firmware, so i will have more details about how it will actually run in the coming weeks. We are aiming to make it as plug and play as we can, so mining through cgminer will work just like mining with another ASIC. We are also looking at a standalone GUI to give you direct control over various parts of the board, allowing you to easily adjust voltage and overclocking of the chips.
