Maybe someone can answer this for me as I know very little about these devices: do you need the wiibox controller for these to work or can you run them right through a usb hub to your PC, if you can run them through your PC without the box what software's can you use. Currently I use CGMiner for Scrypt

From the looks of it the wiibox is just a small linux device running minerd, There have been people that ran these on windows pc, and there has been some Raspberry Pi development. But things are still in the experimental area since this hardware is so new. It's one of the reasons I want a couple, see if I can get these mining on a Pi with a self modified version of cgminer.

I was just told that on another forum thread, I was also told though they dont work with Win64bit at the moment no driver support yet, alas I run Win64 and do not have any plans for dualbooting

yeah i tried mine on my 64bit box and couldnt get the com port to register in cpuminer.

went to a 32bit box and walla! its hashing away

That's good info to know if running without the controller. I would have tried it on x64 and been really confused when it didn't work.
