PES2Card - Write EMD files



  PES2Card utility provides the possibility to write designs to a Smart Media card that can be used in the Singer XL5000/XL6000 or Elna Xquisit. In order to be able to do this, your PC needs a card slot that accepts a Smart Media card. My PC has a PCMCIA slot and I use a Sitecom Multi Memory PC Card Reader Writer to support Smart Media cards. As Smart Media card I used a generic 32 MB Smart Media card.

Generic Smart Media card

The L: drive contains the Sitecom device and the Smart Media card.

Let's write 2 designs to a Smart Media card in EMD format. In Holland there are two characters called Jip and Janneke. I asked Chris and Rita to digitise these charcaters for me. Chris provided the Jip design, Rita the Janneke design. I have stored both designs on my computer in different folders.
