## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on my swf embroidery machine 601 -c and 1201-c.**
A: I was able to get this to work on my 1999 SWF A-T 1201.  I had to put the jumper across JA and rotated it 180 so that it could be screwed to the floppy plate.  When you boot it, have a FAT formatted 2gb or less flash drive plugged in, hold both buttons on the converter down when turning the machine on.  The drive will start setting up the folders.  If the machine won't boot, let the drive finish formatting the usb flash drive.  Once it's done switch the power off and back on and let it boot normally.  Once it was booted, I had the 1201 format the file folder selected (000).  Once it was formatted my desktop was able to save files to it.  File transfers much faster than with floppy and way more folders.  I was able to load designs from it and will test it more over the next couple of months.  But so far it works and you don't have to wait 2-3 months for the SUE version to arrive from China.

**Q: can it format 720K?**
A: This model only emulates 1.44 MB disks. However, you can replace the stock firmware with FlashFloppy (open source - find it on github) and emulate almost any type of 3.5" disk media.

**Q: Does this emulator allow to write to the virtual floppy images? or it can only read them?**
A: It will allow you to create and write to them as well.

**Q: Will this work on a Commodore Amiga ?**
A: Should. If it doesn't initially, there are dozens of tutorials on y-tube.
