I take this isn't like the old GPU limit thing and it's an unkown to a lot of people?

If you don't have any automation software you shouldn't run 100 of these.

It's just idiotic to think that you should run 30+ mhash or 100+ devices on one system.

Spread the control out to 10-64 per control system and develop some automation tools or use the ones I post all over for linux.

I do have software automation setup for alerts, restart cgminer, etc.. so no problem there.

The 127 usb device limit is my problem as stated here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hub

@wolfey2014, you stated if I knew what I was looking for this should be easy to find?

Can you give me some hints?

I dislike you.

Haha well thank you kind sir

So maybe using a motherboard with multiple USB controllers will work? Just thinking out loud. Any ideas there?

Though I fundamentally disagree with the idea of trying to run hundreds of miners from a single controller, you can always use one of these: http://www.ioiusb.com/Host-Adapter/U2X4-PCIE1X01.htm (i'm not a big fan of single points of failure so please at least get a cheap server case with dual power supplies and RAID-1. And don't forget UPSs!)

Its a 4x1 USB 2.0 card with 4 independent ports that supports 127 devices each, so that'll get you to 500 miners at least. How the OS will address them is up to you (I have no idea if there are any limitations).

Best of luck,

Cool! it looks like it may take a while to get one of these in so for now i'll probably use mini pc's. Anyone recommend a cheap mini PC on amazon for this?
