[QUOTE=Pennyhal;7475778]I have a machine that uses the floppy disks. I had to buy a special "box" to transfer designs from my computer to the floppy. When I got a new computer, I had to buy a second box because the first would not work with it. When I got my next new computer, I had to buy a third box from a different mfg because the mfg. that made the first two no longer supported the boxes I had. )
I have heard before (from somewhere) that you need a "key" to initiate the Magic Box. I bought a Mini Magic Box Plus from ebay several yrs ago and installed in XP computer without any code. Was that because it was the "Renesas" model (this is the model that will save designs to computer hard drive). Fortunately, I had never heard of needing a "key" or I would not have bought it. Guess I was a lucky duck!
