Both my cards showed up just fine. It seems more like this was a timeout in some sort of initialization loop on program entry under Windows.
I gave up and went to Ubuntu. I just needed to re-learn UNIX again, and write a command file generation from my Windows command files. Used Hashcat without issues under that. No biggy.
I ended up breaking the password in 6 weeks after exhausting a word+7 alpha full combination initially, and then cracking a Truecrypt password (using all the hashing combinations or truecrypt - 12 of them) with a word generator I wrote out of a program that generated all the possible letter combinations (assigning a word instead of a letter, then killing adjacent duplicates). As it turns out the password was 34 characters long - I would have been screwed without approaching it from a different angle.
On the up side - I got really good at using Hashcat. On the downside, I have a slightly used 1080ti that I don't really need (which I never managed to overclock under Ubuntu). Maybe when it gets colder I can start mining and heat the house....
Thx.
