Help: Toyota 9000

I recently just bought a Toyota 9000 need to figure out how to send files to the machine. I bought an USB emulator but when i plug it in, the machine shuts off.

What is the recommend way to send files to the Toyota 9000?
For example what wires, programs, software do i need to get?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The most common ways you send files to the 9000 both involve the Serial port.

1. You can use a serial wire to connect the machine to a PC for a direct connection. You may need a program to send designs to the machine such as Electronic Stitch Manager.

2. There is a 3.5 floppy drive for the machine. The last time I saw on it was around $100 from Pantograms. Here is the same one from Sewmany parts. http://www.sewmanyparts.com/pages/Shop/itemdetail/3676/
