I already own a blank card for the Amazing (Magic, Universal Embroidery Translator, Dream Maker, Bernina) Box and would like to use The Ultimate Box to write to it. Do I also have to buy The Ultimate Card?
If the memory size of the blank Amazing (Magic, Universal Embroidery Translator, Dream Maker, Bernina) card satisfy your needs you can just use The Ultimate Box to write more than 6 designs to it. If you would like to have a larger card, then The Ultimate Card is the answer.
I only have a USB port available on my computer and no serial pot. What should I do?

Will Embird work with anything, but the Ultimate Box? Since the Ultimate Box is the security device for the Embird software, it won’t work with any other box, is that correct?
Yes, that is correct. The registrations will activate the Embird versions that require Ultimate Box as a dongle.
Why does Embird only work with some of the Artista models?
At this time it will only work with Artista models 200 and newer. Even original Artista cards for 185 and older models cannot be used in Artista 200 and up.
