Yes, and that PC has to be before 1996 or it was fucking low end in 1998
Well, it's not the computer in question... I found some powerful and cheap usb 1.0 hubs that would be ideal for running block erupters. I have it's 2.0 brother and it works fine. I just ordered one of the 1.0, so we'll see how it goes.

Are USB Block Erupters USB 1.0 Compatible?

I can't find the specs for the ASICMiner USB Block Erupters. Are they USB 1.0 compatible? If anyone knows where I can read the full specs that would be great!
I haven't used a R-pi - but my home setup has 2 "normal" powered hubs (2.0 Amp) with 4 block eruptors on each. Hum-ing away fro over 36 hours now. No problem.
Cool, thanks for sharing.
In case anyone else is interested, the hubs I'm using where I can get 5 or 6 usb block eruptors running with raspberry pi are these ones (d-link 7 port DUB-H7): http://amzn.com/B00008VFAF
Large USB Hub with Raspberry Pi and USB Block Erupters?

I like the idea of mining with Raspberry Pi and USB block erupters, at least for now since they're both easy to come by. But, I've had trouble finding raspberry pi compatible usb hubs that can support more than 6 block erupters.
Although the Anker 10 port USB 3 hub is popular for usb block erupters, it's not Raspberry Pi compatible. There is a list of compatible hubs here:
But, most of them don't have enough power, don't have many ports and/or aren't configured in a way that makes it easy to fill up the ports and cool them (like the Anker 10 port).
Has anybody found a big hub that works with Raspberry Pi and USB block erupters?
