External 3.5 USB floppy drives are $15US Ebay or other.
I'd be more concerned with the software not being able to run on your PC/OS. Suggest you try before you buy. You shouldn't need the floppy, likely you can copy floppy to USB thumb drive on friends machine and then load and test on your machine. But likely you'll run into other issues that may or may not be easily solved... so you gotta try before you buy.
The problems will be the technology, you will have to get a floppy disk for your computer. Very few designs are on floppys now.
SOURCE: buying a used Husqvarna Rose or what other recommendation?
I owned a Rose sewing machine and I recently upgraded to a Designer 1. I absolutely love this machine!! It's very easy to learn the new features and other features are just like the rose model. It's a great investment and its the best!! The embroidery area is much larger than the rose has, and it sews 800 stitches a minute. OK, I could go on and on. I have one regret, I traded my rose in for the designer 1 and wish I would have kept it. I could of had two embroidery machines running at the same time!!

If you are using the 3D version of the Husqvarna Viking software, you may need to download the latest dongle drivers.
If it is 4D, you may need to update the dongle and you can do it yourself.
Check for support at:
http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/8588.htm or go to your local Husqvarna Viking dealer.
If you are trying to run 3D on a Vista computer it can be a little complicated. Let me know if this is the case.

Dear bjdouce,
Push the floppy drive lid inwards and do the following:
First of all, check for any visible thread or dust inside the floppy drive.
Secondly clean the drive by blowing it with compressed air.
If this does not help, it is time to upgrade your machine to USB. Great to work with. Cost: plus minus $500.00.
Good Luck

you cannot convert a #'d embrodiery card collection to areadable/writeable card. If it has like #2 or #3 etc. on it, it's a read only card.

You need to use either Organizer or Disk Manager to put designs on the floppy disk. Both of these are Husqvarna programs, not part of your computers operating system. If you copy shv file directly, the machine does not have all of the information that it needs to read the files. If the folder containing your original shv files that you purchased contains additional files, you just need to copy EVERY file within that folder to the floppy disk and it might work. Don't attempt to move individual files to the floppy. You will need them all.
