To use the Pfaff creative Software with Pfaff creative embroidery machines, the following
settings were used in VIP Configure:
• ‘Pfaff 2140’ setting: COM1
• ‘Pfaff creative card station’ setting: COM1
The Pfaff creative Suite ran normally as on any other Windows platform. However, the
following was found in regard to hardware and communications:
• The Belkin USB-Serial Adapter is not recognized when the Mac is booted up from cold,
so COM1 is initially not available to Virtual PC. After booting for the first time, unplug and
reconnect the adapter, then reboot the Mac. The adapter will then be recognized
correctly by OS 9 and Virtual PC.
• All communication aspects worked correctly between VIP File Assistant and the Pfaff
creative 2140 embroidery machine.
• It was not possible to update the Pfaff creative 2140 with new firmware (this is a program
that is run directly from Windows Explorer).
• All communication worked correctly between creative Customizing and the creative card
station.
• It was not possible to establish communications with a Pfaff creative 7570 embroidery
machine. Use a creative card station to read from and write to cards for use in the 7570.
• The “USB Token” option is only be available in the USB section of Virtual PC when the
dongle is inserted into the MAC.
• Restarting the Mac with the dongle inserted gives a message that 'The software cannot
be found for USB Token'. This message is generated by OS 9, which does not use the
dongle. Click OK to close the message and carry on as normal.
