Let's start over.
Which Pfaff sewing machine are you talking about?
(And which Janome, while we're at it?)
How did the designs get on the Pfaff memory card?
The usual ways are:
1) A card purchased with designs on them
2) Designs placed on the card from the computer, using specialty
embroidery software.
2) Designs built-in to the sewing machine, uploaded to cards.
On the Pfaff, did you use embroidery designes acquired separately or
did you use only what were built-in to the sewing machine?
EXACTLY how did you get the contents of a Pfaff memory card into your
computer?
What physical device did you connect to your computer to read it? And
what software did you run on the computer to read the card's contents?
I don't know what you mean by "RAM format". Do you mean that it's in
the format of the sewing machine's random access memory? If so, it's
probably unusable. For some sewing machines, it's possible to save
individual designs from the sewing machine in an editable embroidery
format such as .pcs, .pcd, .vip, etc.
