Newbie with a lot of questions

-------------------------------------

Hi All, I recently bought a Hasqvarna Viking #1+ for my DIL as a Christmas present. I know next to nothing about it. I have their Customizing Plus software 6.2, and their reader writer still need a programmable card. My first question is there a third party programmable card I can use? I am having trouble finding the HV's programmable card. My second question is can she use the floppy diskettes and if so how? Does the embroidery machine have a floppy disk driver that she can insert any designs she create on her computer into the machine? The reader/writer comes with a parallel port to attach to the computer would an 36 pin USB to Parallel IEEE 1284 Printer Adapter Cable work to hook it up to the computer? Is there anything else she will need to be able to use it?

Thanks,

Nancy

Not that I know of.

I am having trouble finding the HV's programmable card.

Should be available through your local HV dealer.

No. That's what the programmable card is for.

That might work. You would probably be better off to buy a new USB card reader/writer, which comes with a programmable card.

Not quite true. I have floppies with designs on, which I put into my computer and transfer through the reader/writer to the programmable card.

This machine sounds like an old model, so the software and R/W will not work with Win XP or later. It probably needs Win 98 or 95, as well as the parallel port. I had Win 98 reinstalled on my pc when I bought a more modern one.

I bought a new R/W for my Husqvarna Rose through Ebay, so am now able to use Win XP and a USB port, but I still use the floppies to transfer designs, as well as CDs.

:Okay now I am really confused. If I get the usb reader/writer how do youget the designs onto the embroidery machine? Does the newer usb readerhave the same size programmable cards as the old ones? Thanks

Yes, the only difference is that you can get a lot more on the new one. I don't think either card can be used in the other R/W, but both work in my old Rose machine.

Do you have a local Husqvarna dealer that you could ask all these questions to? It seems they would be the ones to go and ask, because you would be sure to get the latest info from the dealer.

Just a thought....

Did my post not go through? It doesn't sometimes. I'm no expert, but have been through the same problems, though causd by a new pc, with my old machine.
