L04 Can I run the software on a Macintosh computer?
Pfaff creative Software is made to run on a PC with Windows®95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP and
we can not guarantee that our software will work on a Macintosh computer. There are ways
of running PC software on MAC computers by use of emulators such as Virtual PC and Soft
Windows.
However, Pfaff can not support, by way of phone help or warranty, the use of our software on
Macintosh computers and recommends that you purchase a standard Windows® based PC
to use our embroidery systems.
If you still wish to use our software on a Macintosh computer, the following information may
be of help. Please note that this DOES NOT constitute support and no support will be offered
or provided for using Pfaff creative Software in the manner described below.
PLEASE NOTE: Pfaff creative Software has not been tested with any Windows® emulation
software on Mac OS X.
The Pfaff creative Suite has been tested and shown to run on a Macintosh G4 using the
following configuration:
• Mac OS 9.0.4
• Memory: 786Mb
• Virtual PC 4.0 running Windows® ME
• Belkin F5U103-MAC USB Serial Adapter with driver version 1.1.1
The Belkin F5U103-MAC USB Serial Adapter was used because a Macintosh computer
does not have a COM type serial port that is needed for communications with a Pfaff creative
card station and/or creative 2140 embroidery machine.
Virtual PC 4.0 was configured as follows:
• Processor: “Enable MMX compatibility” checked
• PC Memory: 460MB
• COM1 Port: “Mac Serial Port” selected; “Belkin USB Serial Adapter” selected from the
list, and “Non-modem device” checked.
• COM2 Port: “None” checked
• USB:“Enable USB” checked, “USB-232 Adapter” unchecked and “USB Token” (dongle)
checked
In Windows ME, the settings for COM1 were set as follows in the Control Panel:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: XON/XOFF
To use the Pfaff creative Software with Pfaff creative embroidery machines, the following
settings were used in VIP Configure:
• ‘Pfaff 2140’ setting: COM1
