FWIW, the TurboExpress920 does not seem to be solving the tickloss with the
Global Server and BMI DataManager.  For example today via bmi sat TS Omega
server on one W95machine collected 26,478 june snp emini ticks, Global
Server got 20393 on a W98 computer with the TurboX920, and HistoryBank.com
got 27232 for the 9:30 to 16:15 session.  The Turbo 920 has made no
difference than using one of the motherboard comports on the W98 machine.
It might just be there is no solution to the GS - BMI DM tickloss other than
to change to a datafeed that does not use the BMIDM.  The combination of
GSBMIDM appears to be a lemon.  Could be my machine has configuration
problems too.  If anyone has that combination working where it collects all
or most of the emini ticks, I would like to hear how they achieved it and
what their port configuration settings are.
