According to its manual, my machine is compatible with an ATA PC card ... "available at computer shops and camera shops". I do not have such a card, so am not knowledgeable about them. And, finally, there is such a thing as a PC Design card ... I don't know anything about those either, but I think they are very expensive, already have designs on them, and can be bought from a Janome dealer.
