have the same setup and had everything working under windows 7 like this:

start /D "C:\Users\dts350z\Downloads\cgminer-3.9.0-windows\cgminer-3.9.0-windows" cgminer.exe --usb 2:11,2:14,2:15 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u dts350z.1 -p 12345

and

start /D "C:\Users\dts350z\Downloads\cgminer-run-windows-20131224\cgminer-run" cgminer.exe --usb 2:12 --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u dts350z.975 -p 12345 --bmsc-freq 0781

Note the separate versions of cgminer.

Now on windows 8.1 I can't get the Ant Miner to run. The frequency won't set.

Also, it's irritating that on every boot the USB bus and device numbers change, and I have to figure out which device is the Ant miner by trial and error.

.

I got it to work with this config on 8.1, using these drivers for both Sapphire & Ant: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx and BFGminer

Code:

"expiry" : "120",
"expiry-lp" : "3600",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"no-show-processors" : true,
"no-show-procs" : true,
"no-unicode" : true,
"queue" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"skip-security-checks" : "0",
"submit-stale" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"scan" : [
	"antminer:all"
],
"set-device" : [
	"antminer:clock=x0981"
]

and

Code:

"expiry" : "120",
"expiry-lp" : "3600",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,

],
"icarus-options" : "115200:1:1",
"icarus-timing" : "3.0=100"

I've got 3 x 330 MH/s Sapphire USB miners and 1 x Bitmain Antminer U1 1.6 GH/s running on a Windows 8.1 64 bit system. I had to juggle to get things to work and was wondering, is it possible to use the AntMiner cgminer with the Sapphire miners? Or, use bfgminer for the AntMiner and Sapphire?

I'd love to get all 4 devices running without running zadig_v2.0.1.162, start cgminer for AMU 0. Then reinstall CP210x_VCP_Windows, cancel restart prompt and run bfgminer for ICA 0-2. But, I do feel lucky I got it to work at all. Cheesy

If you have any experience with this, I'd appreciate any feedback you have.
