USB Emulator with Tajima TEHX 2002-2006

krutoypank

Those of you that know embroidery machines well and have experience with this question please answer, if you have no idea of what I am asking don't bother answering.

Do you know if the $40 off ebay GOTEK usb emulator will work with TEHX embroidery machine?

Here is a link to one on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-5-USB-...ht_4353wt_1398

if you have personal experience that would be very appreciated feedback.

Thank you.

it works just perfect, make sure you get the right one. there are 2 types 720K or 1.4M.
Check your machine manual to see which on is yours.

It's a 2005 tehx c1501. I don't think the manual specifies those details. If I am not wrong the 1.44 is also compatible with the 720 but the 720 won't work in 1.44.

Saw one on eBay which stated 1.44, 720 and some others so that's where I got that info.

I sure would like to know how it works for you, I have a couple of machines I would like to change.

So I guess the tehx uses 1.44 MV floppies so should be replaced with 1.44mb USB emulator.

There is something different about each one of those emulators that translate certain files differently and so some work for embroidery machines and some don't.

Anyone out here can recommend an exact unit that you have used and know it works?

I would love to know if this emulator would work with the Brother BE-1201B-AC.

There is something different about many of these the way they handle data and that they may be compatible with some machines and not compatible with other machines. Look on ebay for brother USB emulator and you may find something there. I found one that clearly states tajima TEHX compatible and the one in above link when emailed seller I was told its not compatible with Tajima TEHX.

The compatible one is on ebay for $39 + $6 shipping much less than hirsch option.

Bought one from an eBay seller: travelinwind and it was the cheap ($40) GoTek model from China. It DID NOT WORK on my Tajima Tehx C1501. I think it had something to do with the jumper settings... After lots of emailing back and forth and trying to understand their broken English, i returned it.

There is another one that says it works on the TEHX and this one is black and ships from India...its a bit more ($75) but when i messaged the seller: floppy_to_usb asking if it worked on the TEHX they replied that it has not been tested...

Continuing the search...
