There is a commercial autoplayer by C. Donninger but I do not know where to find
it.
Perhaps this can help:
http://www.aarontay.per.sg/Winboard/auto232player.html
Here under downloads is an auto232 player for the serial ports com1 or com2:
http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/
Auto232 to Winboard connection:
http://remi.coulom.free.fr/
Look here under "Engine Adapters":
http://www.tim-mann.org/extensions.html
There are probably lots more options.
In my chessbase directory, I have a file called device32.dll. I suspect it may
be the file needed for Chessbase products to play auto232, but I am not sure of
it.
In the chessbase help, I see this:
Connect hardware
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu: Tools – Connect hardware (or Alt-Shift-J)
The program makes contact with the outside world via a serial cable to the
outside world. Currently, two drivers are included:
Auto232: You can play engines against other programs interface using a
serial cable (null modem).
DGT-Brett: This driver allows you to use the beautiful intelligent sensor
board produced by the Dutch company DGT. The board can identify different pieces
(i.e., it can tell whether there is a white bishop or a black knight on a
square). If you switch on “Announce moves” in the Tools – Options – Multimedia
menu, the program announces its moves verbally, so you don’t even have to look
at the screen.
The connection between the board and the PC can be over 10 meters long, and many
of the functions (new game, setup position) can be executed without touching the
PC.
