ST19XL 2.6.09 Freezing Every 10 Minutes

[captmorgan]

I'm running St19xl 2.6.09 with Perky's Aux on a 102 and I'm experiencing blackouts for ~ 10 seconds every 10-20 minutes. When I lose picture & sound, St19xl returns an "!".

The system is a P1 - 133mhz laptop, Win2k, On-board RS-232 as Com1 connected to 2-chip Max/Mel, PCMCIA RS-232 as Com9 connected to ISO reader w/auxed 102. IRD is a 2700 w/private info.

This same system, less the PCMCIA and 102 aux, ran flawlessly with version 2.6.05, Auxshare cardless, and Eltima virtual serial ports.

Questions:

1. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem or is it just my setup?

2. Is there a mod that needs to be done to the COR file that I'm not aware of?

3. What does the "!" mean?

Thanks,
CaptMorgan

Dish running with no freeze ( I am using a P4, 1.8 Ghz, 1 GB ram)
Bev was freezing earlier in the day every 5 min, but now I have been watching for over 30 min on HD channel 841 and no freeze yet :)

your problem is your aux.

add a number value after -a flag for a delay.. watch your screen of your computer for any ! marks.. if you are still getting them up the number..

my ISO is homemade from a 232 chip needed a 40ms delay. I also eched a tucker 6.0 and that requires no delay at all...
your results may vary, but I found ST to give the ! error when an aux sync didn't work..

Thanks ruciz for the info. So you say you're using "-a 40"?
