Please, I do not know how to get it to install it, as it is not sold here, nor is there any site where people can buy it. Please advise me.

Hello all, I am the voice of the narration on the video. Unfortunately, I can no longer add content. I hope this video continues to help those who needed the same things we did and it’s awesome to see that it’s still helping folks. Thank you all for your kind. Thanks.

Thank you for this video.

Help! I have just upgraded my Brother 3000 with the Emulator, but its coming up with this error message “CAN NOT READ THIS DISK. THIS DISK MAY BE DEFECTIVE” regardless if a usb is inserted or not. My usb is reasonably new and formatted to FAT32. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be using an old style usb stick? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can any one tell the part number of the USB emulator.

Can you do a follow up video?

Thanks for this! I wasn’t sure if they had an emulator for sewing machines. I knew they did for electronics as I repair those. I came across one of these machines for a great price that was NEVER used. I had to clean it and heat off the old oil and grease. Greased it and oiled it. Let it set over night. Then installed this drive. It works good as new. I love this machine. I’m so happy I found it! I love my vintage machines. But these computerized machines do cool things too. But I could never afford the cost they’re new. So happy with my NIB oldy score.

Awesome!! I have a Brother 2003 ULT-D and will purchase this and install!!

Hola. Donde podría adquirir esa pieza?

Anyone live in Florida that can do this for me !?

Thanks for the video. My wife mentioned last week that she wanted an embroidery machine. So I started looking at machines in our price range. Several of them were older floppy drives and I tried to find an upgrade, but didn't know what it was called. Now I know. I have already bought a Husqvarna Designer SE though.

anyone know if this works with a 2003D? I'd like to upgrade my mother's machine if possible

Hi I hope you still read the comments I did this successfully but it won’t read maybe I’ll buy another usb stick. It’s lighting up and everything but won’t read any suggestions?

I installed the floppy disc emulator and it retrieved a design once and it now doesn’t upload the design from the flash drive... what am I doing wrong ?

Can use any usb to floppy conversion components/company? And do you need to boot anything? Add programs

I'm heart sick, I cant get mine to work

what size usb drive do you have to use for this

Will this work for Brother Disney Pacesetter ULT2003D model!

I finally have the emulator floppy to USB installed by a Brother Tech. I sent with the machine flash drives loaded with Brother Images. Now I'm told that you must format the flash drive. I think this is the problem from the beginning that flash drive was not formatted and machine could not read it. What else must I do in order to be PES designs on the formatted flash drive????

I bought the recommended GoTek USB emulator from Ebay and installed it on my Brother Pacesetter ULT2003D. It did not work. It kept making my machine restart. I'm virtually positive it was because I was using a Mac computer. I have my Mac partitioned and have a "virtual" PC on it, I have to use the PC to run my old embroidery software. After trying everything possible to try to get the emulator to work, I gave up and reinstalled the floppy. Then I couldn't get my floppies to work! I had just recently bought Embrilliance software and installed it on my Mac. If I used Embrilliance my machine would not recognize the floppy, and I couldn't just use my old software on my "virtual" PC after my floppy disk had been used with Embrilliance on my Mac. I had to reformat my disks for a PC and used my old software on my "virtual" PC, using Windows XP, then my machine would recognize the floppies. I've come to the conclusion that my machine can't handle even a floppy that's been in contact with a Mac. From what I understand a USB memory stick is programmed to work with PC's and Mac's, so as soon as I connected the memory stick to my Mac, my Mac "took over" and left some kind of "imprint" on it, then my embroidery machine wouldn't recognize it. Obviously I'm not techie. I could be completely wrong. But I'm wondering if the other people who couldn't get the USB emulator to work were using a Mac computer? Has anyone been able to use a Mac computer with the emulator? If so, what software did you use? (I have spent all day messing with this and was about in tears when I couldn't even get my floppies to work! Time for a glass of wine.)

I need Solenoid for bottom thread cutter as so I was told by tech. Anyone have one? ULT 2002D Brother embroidery machine. Thanks

We have converted Brother ULT 2002D machine from floppy to USB. The process went fine but when I put a USB in the port, with designs on it, message is that it can't read the "disk" faulty. So we put in another USB, with designs on it, get same message. Is there we're missing. The floppy drive stopped reading floppies so the urgency to convert. Anyone help, please.

Am upgrading my Brother ULT2002D soon and I would like info as to how to transfer easily all the floppies to the USB. What type of USB should I use.

I just bought a used Ult2002d today and also upgraded the floppy to usb! I had to take a drill bit to make the screw holes a tiny bit bigger on the emulator and I used the original screws from the floppy drive. For anyone about to do this, this video is great, just follow along. Only other advice I would give is there is one snap that is hard to pop and it is on the bottom below where the embroidery module door is if that makes sense!

Great video, thanks so much!

Can you still put cards on it ? Or just by usb ?

It’s 4 years since you posted this video and I just have to tell the both of you that I did do it myself and my USB drive works beautifully. At 67 and a woman who rarely uses a screw driver, I cannot thank you enough for giving me the encouragement and confidence to tackle this job. It took me about an hour

Hi: I have how to open a brother super galaxi3100d embroidery machine and replace the floppy disk with usb floppy disk where to get usb floppy disk

I just did my upgrade (Brother 2003D), and it worked great! Thanks for this video! I bought mine from seller khalidsiddiqi on ebay for $99. (The $55 drive comes from India and I did not want to wait). It came with a usb thumbdrive, which had the manual on it. The holes for the drive cover were a tad too small, which I reamed out with a tiny round file, that worked fine. The hardest thing was to get the machine cover off! If you have trouble removing the cover of the ULT 2002, watch this video: th-cam.com/video/PYwWdtyqMbI/w-d-xo.html The instructions state that the tiny buttons on the side are for transferring files to or from the machine built-in memory-it can only transfer 144mb of files at a time, due to the machine limitations . He explains the limitations of the floppy emulator in this youtube video: th-cam.com/video/pm6NR9MoEQI/w-d-xo.html

Hello I got this machine second hand. I’m not sure I want to try what you did but. I was wonder if you could show how to use this machine. If you know where to get the floppy discs or if you can still by cards for this machine. I have never used this machine And have had it at least 5 yrs. thanks

can anyone help fix my machine? i will buy emulator..and am having screen issues with mine..

Yay! We just converted my machine. I have the ULT2002D also. It's all done. Your video worked perfect for us! Thank you!

This is so fantastic!! I have the exact same machine and my husband and I have been trying to find drivers for it, which we did but still can't get the computer to recognize it so this video is PERFECT! Thanks you guys. Great couple to kick back and listen too. Thanks to your husband who seems as awesome as my husband is. Yay!!!

Hi, we did this, but don’t understand the buttons, how does it read the design....we had it installed but we don’t know how to use it...

Hubby and I watched your video while upgrading my Baby Lock Ellageo. Works like a charm! Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. No more floppies!!!

for any queries you send me question at info@floppytousb.net

Hi Friends Was just going thru. This is seller from Ebay "Floppy_to_usb" . Happy to see that product works fine for most of us. To answer the price rise , as I was not avalaiable for 15-20 days for dispatching , and even after puttiong my shop on vacation mode, customers were buying , As I knew that there would be delay so was increased by flat $100 , so that customer would definately send my question on that , and i would be answering them accordingly. Hope this clarifies.

Great video!! Would love a video on how to do a maintenance on it.

Hi: I have the same machine and I love it can you tell me who the seller is on E-Bay Thanks

I just made this change today. Video helped allot! Thanks for taking the time to film the upgrade! I actually have the ULT 2001 but the directions were exactly the same.

I replaced the floppy drive in my ULT2001 with a USB Emulator about three years ago and it is still going strong. The ULT (same as the BabyLock Ellagio) - series machines were truly the "Ultimate" of their time. Yes, I have much newer Brother machines but the ULT is my travel and take-along warhorse machine (and I travel with it because after almost 20 years of hard work I think I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of the guy).

I did this exactly the same way on my brother galaxie 3000d it was so easy but when I put a usb stick in it doesn’t read it what am I doing wrong

I bought my emulator for $65 on eBay. And as funny as I've never used eBay so that was awesome. It took about 10 days to get it. Took me 30 minutes to put it in the sewing machine. Could not have done it without this video. My wife owes me big-time. Thank you so much.

Hey, i have a Husqvarna designer 1 and i wanted to do this to my machine .... my dad knows how to do all of this but i was wondering how did you find the right emulator??? I have found one that is guaranteed to fit my machine but they are wanting $275.00 which is about £209.00 because I’m from the uk Here is the link to that site www.plrelectronics.com/brother_embroidery_machines_floppy_disk_drive_to_usb_upgrade.php Iv had a look on ebay but i just don’t know which one would work :s I’m so confused hehe any advice would be appreciated thank Richard james

So any drive emulator will work ? I know this video is a couple of years old but I just inherited my mother inlaws embroidery machine and it has a floppy disk and would really like to upgrade it

The cost for the part is now $255? Wow! I want to do this but not for that price. Any thoughts on other sellers for the part?

Hi there will this conversion work on my Brother super galaxie 3100D embroidery machine

I just ordered it, hope that I can come out with your info and the info of the site you passed! onwww.annsultfixit.com/UltFixit.html

Update on the ebay Seller "floppy_to_usb" that we purchased our emulator from, it turns out that s/he has multiple listings of the exact same item. Prices range from $65 to $115 (at least the $155 is gone!) but…being CPT Obvious again…….if the $65 drive is the same as the $115 drive…why would I pay $115?!?! We still stand by the model we bought from this seller, it worked the first time after installation and is still working. ***Note: We Do Not like the way the "Shipping" is worded, in the Listing it is listed for $65, Shipping is listed separately $20, in a comment area it clearly states "The prices of the expedite shipping are included in the list price." We would suggest sending a question to the seller for verification, or assume it’s not included. The “seller” claims this emulator will convert the following sewing machines (SM): Brother ULT 2002D, Babylock Ellageo ESG, 2003 Brother ULT 2001, Brother SUP Galaxie 3000. PLEASE do not ask us if it works with ANY OTHER models, we can only say it worked on our Brother ULT 2002D! Thanks! Additional equipment (NOT SM) that the “seller” claims the emulator will convert are; Roland Fantom FA76, Tektronix TDS500, TDS600, TDS700, TDS784D and a Stentura 8000LX **The seller does state NOT to buy this emulator for the PR600!!!!**
