Thanks for the info. I noticed that the Magic Box isn't compatible with Windows 7. Luckily we have a place here that sells used computers. I bought a used Dell desktop business grade machine last year for only $400 but it's in the family room and I don't want to relocate my sewing machine every time I want to embroider something. The old family room computer is the one that moved to the sewing room. The Bernina requires a 9 pin port (can never remember if it's serial or parallel) because it has a dongle. There doesn't seem to be a converter cable available for USB to 9 pin that will work. So I'm thinking that a Magic Box could be the answer. I could still use my ART 3 to edit/digitize (assuming I ever figure out how it really works) and the Magic Box to convert downloaded designs so I can use them. Does anyone know if you can use the3 Box to convert from one version of ART to another?
