CEMU using a laptop

[Little Kenobe]

ive tried several differnet laptops that use com1 with address 03f8 irq 4 but it will not run .. it detects emu board but fails to start .. even using st19 with no aux it does same thing .. i get scrolling code in st19 but quits running soon as i insert emu board .. either emu works fine on any regular desktop pc but no go with a laptop .. i seen that changes can be made to command line but not sure where to start .. anyone had success in using a laptop with CEMU or st19 with no aux?

thank you

laptops do not like emu...some work, many don't . I don't have a magic answer for you either, sorry.

That sounds more like a bad flash on the atmel to me. What flash you using? Most laptops, whether it came with a com port or using an expansion card, will run Cemu. You running off a boot disk or trying to run in windows?

ive tried DOS and windows version .. the emu board is flashed properly and is working now on a desktop pc but if i try it with any laptop ( 2 Dells and a Hitachi with win98 for DOS and winXP for windows version ) i get same results... the com1 port addresses on my laptops are the same as my desktop pc .. its throwing me for a loop ..lol

Little Kenobe have you gotten ST19xl to work withOUT an Auxed card on the desktop pc ?

[Little Kenobe]

yes i have got st19 working with and without an Aux on a desktop PC .. also Cemu works fine too and have no problems doing it .. theres something different on how some laptops communicates using serial port but not sure what it is yet

What version st19xl are you useing withOut an Auxed ? Im useing st19xl-2.4.04
with Auxed. I have st19xl2.205 Bare Boot creator WITHOUT aux.exe can I use this
to make my disk and then drag & drop the newer verison st19xl-2.4.04 for dos on
to the disk to run withOut an Auxed card ?

THANKS for your Help and sorry for hijacking your thread. :o

yes overeasy your on the right track by copy and pasting new version to a boot disk.. there is a newer st19xl out now its version st19xl 2.5.0.7 .. if u view contents on floppy in win98 after creating boot disk you will see autoexec.bat open that file by right clicking on it and then left click edit .. you will see your command line for st19 .. remove or add the /a in command line for using a aux or not using a aux .. thats the only differnece between the two boot disk creators.. the /a means your using a aux card .. if you dont use a aux card then locals and previews will be all you get .. hope this helps
