Hi, rjk. It's a great pity that this interesting project was finally failed.
You should have made more progress if you had asked help from AMD directly.
I heard there was an informal "Multi-GPU" project proposed by AMD last year and finally
they got 16 GPUs (8x FirePro S10000s) to work in a single rig successfully.
So I think AMD might have already developed a proprietary driver to overcome the 8-gpu limit.
See:

Hey if you wanna have a go, I've got all the parts except the video cards... Just name your price.

let me get it straight, you have managed to get it working at 11 GPUs?
if so then expoanding the rest of the way should be simple.

If it works with 11 GPUs i am willing to buy it, but shipping is international, get a quote and i will pay.

For simplicity i can pay in BTC.
