Dear Glenn Global, If your dates are correct, I don't think you could have purchased an XT in Oct of 04. XT came out in 05, didn't they? I have 4 machines NOT XTs, purchased in Dec of 04 and 4 newer ones in Dec of 05, the 05s are XTs. In Jan 2006 another XT model was released, the one at ISS. I am running Amaya OS 7.00.018. My Design Shop is older, so I don't have the newest one, mine is DS 6.08.027. Be careful if your versions of OS and DS aren't close in release date. I have been in contact with Melco software, the tech helped me quite a bit, but sometimes files designed in DS 6.08.027 don't always open exactly right in OS. I have been saving the DS files in .exp format then opening the .exp file at the machine.

I'm getting conflicting advice from Melco & Melco agents. I purchased the new XT machine in October 04 and at this years IIS show in CA it had a later version of software. Any info would be appreciated Glenn Global Embroidery
