I found a way to get BEs and U1s to run on the same machine at full hash rates using both versions of cgminer at the same time. I had to use in the antminer .bat file so it doesn't try and read any new devices. In order to have more than one U1 run at the same time I needed to hotplug each addtional one, to get around this I just run another instance of the cgminer (antminer.bat) for each additional U1 one at a time. After the ants are running then I can just plug in the BEs and start normal cgminer for them.

The only issue I have is when running all U1s together in one instance of cgminer, as opposed to one instance for each, it runs for only a few hours before it "stops working". I have no idea why.

thanks, I will try that, I have so far used two separate machines because of this.

My problem came from the Ant version of cgminer would crash when I tried to plug in BEs while it was running. So I had to tell it to stop reading hotplugged devices, which in turn stopped me from being able to run more than one. So after I have a single U1 running using in the .bat file, I simply plug in the next U1 and run that same exact .bat file, this opens another window that reads the new device (as the other is in use already). Once I have all U1s running I can plug in the BEs and run regular cgminer for them.
