That was over 20 years ago, most large mills now use network to transfer designs, while some smaller ones are stuck with once cute 3,5&#8221; floppies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a big problem for St\u00e4ubli JC4 controllers, where it is virtually impossible to get a network card, while new computers do not have internal floppies. What used to be a nice solution, is slowly turning into a nightmare. External USB floppy is difficult to set up, and for some non-DOS formats, like St\u00e4ubli JC4, special tricks are needed to write such floppies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/configuarator\/floppy-replacement-store-on-usb-.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"175\" \/>There is a solution now. A floppy emulator is available on the market. You insert it in your jacquard controller, in place of floppy drive. No other changes are necessary on the controller, as controller will &#8220;think&#8221; it is still using the floppy, but it will actually read USB memory key. The USB key needs to be formatted in a special way, and CAD software needs to write it in correct format. Arahne has solved this problem, and in ArahWeave 6.1j you will find &#8220;Floppy emulator&#8221; as one of the write destinations in &#8220;Save cards for production&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can buy floppy emulator from St\u00e4ubli or from other companies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember paper cards for jacquard, and the revolution of first electronic jacquard, which supported floppies?
