Brother PE-150/Simplicty Smart Box/Brother PED-Basic Memory Card Woes

[Buglady160]

My husband bought me a used Brother PE embroidery machine (PE-150 with manufacter date of about 2002) and it came with a Simplicity Box and 2 blank Cards. We could not get the Simplicity box to work with Windows 10, so we investigated and saw that the Brother PED-Basic worked with Windows 10. We bought one on ebay for $40, but it had no card. We thought it would be able to read/write to the blank Simplicity cards...i mean they are the same card right? But the reader will not recognize the cards. Does anyone know if there is a way to reformat the Simplicity card to work with the PED basic? The cheapest we could find a blank brother card was for $60.
