I have Ellageo ESg..it is same as Brother ULT 2001/02/03. It works w/ cards or floppies. Cards are too expensive, so it is wiser to buy PED Basic software --the card reader/writer software. With it you can write designs from your computer to the card (over and over). I also have the 2003 ULT-D, and the 2002-D which has been up graded to '03. I love all my machines because of the large touch screens. If there are other questions you want answered, please pm me.
