Tajima has some very funky software burned on their boards. I would recommend that you find a tech that has done conversions on your specific machine before you try a DIY project.

Just ordered the Floppy to USB Upgrades for most all machines from PRLElectronics should be here today or tomorrow will let you know how it goes. It was $275 plus shipping.

I purchased on eBay and they contacted me right away asking information on what machine it will be going into (Tajima TMFX C 1202) as well as what type of cable "Do you have one cable on the back with 26 pin or two cables on the back with 34 pins". So I am feeling pretty confident on what is coming.

These were $600.00 a couple of years ago. PLR is now selling them for $300-$250.

if you think the price is to big try directly RICHPEACE ( richpeace.com)

I skipped USB and went wirelss. Can this be done on the Tajima machines ? Seems that everyone is going from Floopy to USB. I tried USB and Wirelss but I like Wirelss better but I am not using Tajima. I bet you could figure it out.

I have posted this same question as well...let me know what you find out. I don't necessarily want to go wireless but would be interested in whether I should go to the USB attachment using a travel drive for designs. I am not having any issues with my machine and don't want to start any issues, but know that floppys are a pain. I have tajima as well.
