St19 ?

[rafiki]

I am returning back from FTA's and been reading a lot over the last 2 day's.

Picked up some talk about ST19 and STxx auxed set-up. Could someone point me in the right direction and/or explain what ST19 is?

thanks

If you don't want to build it here is what you need to buy. A pentium computer (it can be stripped with no harddrive) 200 mhz or better with 2 serial ports. an ISO programmer. 1 Rom102 card. A max/mel emu board. A dish receiver. I use the 301.010. Plenty of them around and easy to work on. Jtag to get boxkeys of receiver.

You can get the junk cpu from any flea market for 25.00 or less. The ISO programmer and the max.mel buy right here in Mili's store. The rom102 from where ever you can get the best deal. Little high here but you know that it is not looped and a clean rom102. Fleabay has the 301's. Makes sure if you get a 301 it is 301.010 not 301.013. Both will work but 301.010 is easier. Once you have these thing you just have to set it up. Download the latest st19xl package make your cor file, aux you rom102 with perkysaux 1.23 and you are off to the races.

You can run this setup without a rom102 but in the future I think you will need the rom102 so bite the bullet and go ahead and get it from the start.

Mezlo, Thanks again for the additional info..............

Just came back to this thread as i think it is the best option for the 1 open 102 i have. I hug it it before I go to sleep every night, LOL.

I dug out the 301-10 that has a jtag built in, I have the card, so i will order the max.mel and go from there. This is more fun then FTA's for sure.
