PACE's innovation has averted a major re-engineering expense and will help us provide uninterrupted distribution of our Japanese font products. The floppyless PowerMac G3 machines presented us with a unique situation that called for an innovative solution. PACE's InterLok technology has been successfully protecting our Japanese font products for nearly ten years, said Jim DeLaHunt, Adobe Type Library Engineering Manager.

Our USB Floppy Enabler should be of interest to anyone with software that makes calls to the floppy drive.

This driver will not only allow software products and content protected by InterLok* to be authorized with PACE1s KeyDiskettes, but it will also enable other developers1 software products to access the new USB drives, said PACE president and CEO, Allen Cronce.

PACE is working with several other major USB floppy drive manufacturers to ensure universal compatibility. Ostensibly sold as an upgrade path for floppy-based textile machines (in their major markets of China and India) and for synthesizers (coming in a black shell to match the colour scheme, naturally), this device is merely an ARM-equipped FAT12 floppy emulator, so it should work in absolutely any device that uses a regular 1. The USB Floppy Enabler currently supports Imation1s SuperDisk and Newer Technology1s uDrive, two of the leading external USB floppy systems. Remember though – the goal is not to increase memory.PACE developed the USB Floppy Enabler in response to the needs of customers using its InterLok* anti-piracy products, a fifth generation tool set for protecting, distributing and selling software. So even though you are using a 1GB USB stick, it will only hold whatever your machine could handle. What if your machine could handle 1.4MB floppy disks? This means you used HD (high density) floppy disks, which could hold up to 220 machine program files on it.Ĭase in point – your machine could only handle the size of those files that could fit on those floppy disks. This means it could only hold 720kb worth of storage, and could typically hold 110 machine program files on it. Let’s say your machine manufacturer made a floppy disk drive that could only handle DD (double density) floppy disks. On floppies, program sizes can range from 1kb to 1.4MB. Program sizes for customers typically range from 1kb to 25MB. You are essentially fooling the machine into thinking the floppy drive still works, with the benefit of no longer needing those floppy disks. The machine still thinks it’s a floppy reader, so it is going to work within those restrictions. This is incorrect.Ī USB stick will hold no more than the floppy you would have used in the machine would dictate. Since the customer is going from a disk that was once 720k or 1.4MB to a 1GB SFA USB stick, the assumption is that they can store and send big programs from it. How many programs you can store on the USB stick is another big question we get.

Our Floppy Connect is a small investment in comparison and works on a large number of controls, with the list growing daily.

It is also cost prohibitive to have them install their specific hardware to upgrade your machine.

Meanwhile, getting a USB stick is as easy as making a run down to a pharmacy, a big box technology store, ordering from Amazon, or buying one from Target and Walmart! Remember, a 2GB stick is the largest size for the Floppy Connect, and it must be FAT formatted. Finding them new is hard to do and will cost you.

There are three main benefits to this CNC upgrade: This floppy emulator will help you eliminate floppy disks This USB device will easily replace your existing SWF floppy drive with a heavy duty, high quality, warranty backed USB drive replacement. The answer is no, but don’t let this deter you! The benefit of floppy drive replacement hardware is not adding memory to your machine, but we will also touch on the subject of file sizes later. Convert your SWF floppy drive to a USB reader.

While we invite you to contact us for more detailed information, we want to answer the most asked question: Does your Floppy Connect hardware add memory to my machine? We get many calls to our office asking questions about CNC floppy emulator hardware.
