1 auxed card for both providers

[janusambrose]

is it possible to run st19 using one auxed card for both providers on one computer?

[MIKEHAWKISLARGE]

yes here is an example of the commands you need

You have to run ST19XL twice with a command line specifying the ports for each IRD and aux.
Example with Physical Ports 1, 2 and 7, Virtual Port Pairs 3-5 & 4-6
AUXSHARE /C7 /E3 /EE4 /D /M25
ST19XL.EXE -a -m -s -pe1 -pa5
ST19XL.EXE -a -m -s -pe2 -pa6

The programmer would be connected to COM 7
IRD 1 connected to COM 1
IRD 2 connected to COM 2

Any recommendations on a add on serial port board?

And are you running this in windows. The readme recommends
dos only one could run in dos instead of both providers?

mikehawkislarge, your setup is flawed.

you got the right idea, but auxshare, least the only one that will work with actual sharing is the dos release V0.1.2. This release does NOT work with COMPORTs above 4. With that said, you cannot use COM7 for your aux. It will crash. it has to be COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4.

Also, while this DOES work, you need one HELL of a beefy system for it to be stable, unless you setup an aux server and use NULL modem cables between the systems... on my 1.8GHz with 512MB ram, with WINXP, just auxshare with the 2 ports use a constant 97% of my CPU dispite what the multithread is set to. theres no way in hell ST19 can even start up, as it needs a burst of about 10% of the CPU to sync...

hopefully slasher can update to 0.1.5 WIN32 version with sharing enabled. Then everything should be fine, and sharing possible on the slowest of machines.
