P E Design v4.02 software question

11 years ago

I bought a used emb. machine exactly like one I already had--because I loved the first one so much. The machine came with P E v4 software which I do not need because I have later version. I have had difficulty selling it because (I think) the reader/writer box connects via serial or parallel port. Most computers now have USB ports. Does anyone know of alternatives for connecting the box? The program cannot even be accessed unless the box is connected. It's a wonderful digitizing program & it's a shame not to see it put to use. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks for tuning in.

That is the "pink" card I was referring to. Correct, the newer (version 5 and up) will not recognize this card. However, all the later machines WILL. I have 4 of these cards...they are also used in the Brother P E Scan. These cards are quite hard to find for replacement those still using the older softwares. I have seen the older software sets, V 1-4 listed for sale on ebay. Unfortunately, most of them are lacking the security device. Be very careful if you buy there....be sure it is included. Many were lost or stopped working. Mine is on an old computer somewhere in this world--that was given for recycle. 24 hrs later when remembered, it was too late.

On ebay yet I have found nothing. Maybe I will find the card reader of the third-party developer. It will replace the card reader the brother and I will be able to write designs. :-)
