I am very frustrated with my pair of CLE-215+.

I am trying to run them under Ethos and Windows with several hardware configurations, but the system is unable to detect the Acorns. I have tested so far:

- Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ MoBo with Ethos. Drivers from SQRL and AcornMiner. Result: "I/ACORNMINER   : Failed to get a valid list of Acorn device paths. Is the Acorn Driver installed?"
- Asus Prime Z270-P MoBo with Ethos. Same result as before.
- Laptop with NVMe to USB adapter with Windows 10 and SQRL drivers. The Acorn powers on but it is not recognized.

Am I missing something? Any help would really be appreciated.

Hank,

Ive got 8 acorn been mining since Dec 2018 on Ethos. 
Im using Asrock Z170 Extreme mother boards running 3-4 each.  Then one in a DP3M board with single M.2
The H110 Pro BTC board i was not able to get working due to the PCIe lanes or lack there of. 
And i dont believe the NVMe to usb will ever work for this.

I think the problem is the mobos you have tried.  Happy to help you get it running.
