Oddly, I have recently unearthed a Cairnsmore1 FPGA (the OG Bitcoin miner). I grabbed one of these before the John the Ripper support for ZTEX emerged.

Mine looks similar to this one:

It was a working pull, but it hasn't been fired up in years. If it would be of interest to anyone, I'd be happy to donate it (but it would be nice if you paid shipping of your choice).

Would hate for it to get e-wasted if someone might like it!

If you're interested in Bitcoin retrocomputing, and want to acquire a historical FPGA cryptomining board - specifically, a Cairnsmore single-chip (1 x Spartan-6 XC6SLX150), DM me.

It was a working pull, but I don't knnow a lot about them (but would be happy to follow any steps you want to test it before shipping).
