The main recommendation was to buy an external floppy drive, and cannibalize it for the floppy. The computers and electronics we build today are seemingly obsolete within months. This is especially true with data storage methods and devices, as many people today are looking for methods to transfer Zip Disks and floppy disks to their hard drives. In the early days of computing, in order to transfer data from one computer to another, we used what was called a floppy disk.
The floppy disk was considered a revolutionary device in the early days of computing for its portability which allowed users a new and easy physical means of transporting data from computer to computer. To fill this emerging niche, the Zip Drive was released in by Iomega and was capable of reading and writing to specialized disks called Zip Disks with a capacity of mb.
Eventually Zip Drives were phased out in favor of cheaper, higher capacity media such as CD-R and flash thumb drives. Please make sure that you select the right USB Flash storage, as formatting will delete all the data , which may not be recoverable. As you click ok you will see that the Multi-Block service check box will be checked.
Just select the format size you want to format the USB flash drive into so that it gets compatible with your floppy to usb emulator. The relevant options available are K, 1. Enter the number of Floppy Blocks you want to make on single usb flash drive in the floppy block column , just below the Floppy Type section. You will now see the progress indicator and will be notified with the number of block that is being created and formatted.
Please make sure that this process takes atleast 90 seconds to format. If in case the format completes in the blink of and eye , it means that it is false indicator and something is wrong and your usb flash drive will not work on floppy to usb.
There could be a virus in you system. Please check. Provided all goes good, you will be prompted with Success message. Click OK. Once the flash drive is formatted, it is ready to be used in floppy to usb.
You will see that "Select Floppy Block" now contains a block indicator of Flppy0. I bought a huge box of discs, since they are not readily available anymore.
I also have Embird, and it will write designs to a disk in the proper format. During my last move, somehow my dongle was set free hated the darn thing anyway These days I seldom embroider, but at least I know that it's still available to me when and if I choose to do that. I would never spend the kind of money that Viking wants to upgrade my machine. I'll save that money and switch brands.

Types of available Interface for Floppy to usb 1. From last so many years the floppy disk and the slow RS serial communication was the unique means to transfer data from a computer to system.

But, what will happen if a very expensive industrial machines is stalled for just because that there is no floppy drive compatible to your machine in the market to replace the defective floppy disk drive. We definitely hope that users will not be with the mind to store hundreds of them to keep the machine running? Now there is no need to worry, as almost everyone has and alternative which will allows to convert floppy to usb on almost any industrial machine or old computer currently working on floppy drive.
The best thing is that there is no need to change or upgrade any software or any wiring circuit so as to upgrade the old machines to use USB as floppy.
