| Question: Does The Ultimate Box write to The Ultimate Card, only?? |
Answer: |
| Question: I understand that The Ultimate Box reads and saves designs to my computer from the cards it writes to. Are there any other cards that The Ultimate Box can only read?? |
Answer: Yes, there are cards that the Vikant Ultimate Box can only read! These are the preprogrammed collectible design cards. As a writing option to such cards would mean that all the content would be erased the writing option was disabled for those cards. |

| Question: Can I use The Ultimate Box with my PE-Design(Palette, Deco Wizard) 3.0 or older software? |
Answer: Although the use of Embird embroidery software will give you the most convenience the Ultimate Box can be used in conjunction with any (!) version of any embroidery software. You can use that software to edit designs or create new ones and save designs to the hard drive of your computer. The browsing and transferring utility that comes with The Ultimate Box only finds and sends those designs to the blank card. |

| Question: Which design formats are supported by The Ultimate Box? ? |
Answer: A direct transfer is possible with the PES, PEC und HUS format is possible with the Vikant Ultimate Box I. The Ultimate Box II also supports the *sew and *.art format. If you are an owner of the embroidery software Embird you can enlarge your possibilities regarding design formats significantly as you can transfer almost any other format to the format that fits to your machine. |
| Question: Can I change, rotate, flip or resize my embroidery designs with the Ultimate box? |
Answer: No! The Ultimate Box will not change your designs in any direction, it just transfers the data onto the card for further processing on the embroidery machine. For any further change of the designs you would need the embroider software Embird that comes together with the box as a trial version. |

| Question: My computer is not equipped with an USB connector. Can I use the Ultimate Box anyway? |
Answer: If you have an older computer that has no USB connector we recommend to buy an internal USB card that has to be installed in a free slot of your computer. |
| Question: I heard some rumors that I might jeopardize the warranty of my embroidery machine if I use other cards and/or reader writer devices as from the manufacturer of my machine. Is that information correct? |
Answer: No not at all! These are nothing but rumors! The use of the Vikant Ultimate Card will take the same effect to your embroidery machine as different CD's of different artists will do to your CD player! Neither the Vikant Ultimate Box nor the Vikant Ultimate cards can change the hard- or software of your embroidery machine by any means! If you should ever hear such an untenable assertion ask if you could get that in writing and forward it to us. We would be happy to have it :-) |

| Question: What is the difference between The Ultimate Box and the Amazing(Magic, Universal Embroidery Translator, Dream Maker, Bernina ) Box?? |
Answer: The major difference is that The Vikant Ultimate Box writes as many designs to the blank card as it can hold, while Amazing box can only write up to 6 designs. The Ultimate Box will also read and save designs back from the card to the hard drive, which tested versions of the Amazing box could not do. The Ultimate Box has only one card slot for Brother type cards, while the Amazing Box has four card slots for different brands of sewing machines..- |
