Thanks for continuing this post. I have a 9500 Janome, and I love the machine . I need to firgue out how to transfer files from the pc to the machine. I have bought the memory card and rewriter and the digitalize thing.the big thing I need to time to sit down and experiment with it. Surely their is some type of converter for the ps2 port thing to usb. That would be ideal. I have embrodiery some cloth burp cloths and such but not really got into it much.
