new baby cricut question

[cloetzu]

Hello,

Okay so I'm slowly getting up to speed on all the changes with SCAL and the implications - ie what i can use and what I can't. Thanks to everyone that is helping me understand!

I have an Expression - bought a couple years back. I had a baby cricut but got rid of it when I got the Expression - now wish i had kept it to use for cakes! I'd like to pick one up - seems that many places including Michael's is selling them off cheap. So my question is if I get on of these, does anyone know what firmware they likely have on them (and this if they will work with SCAL 2)? Is there anyway to know other then buying one and bringing it home and plugging it in?

Thanks!

Hi, I as well have a cricut expression that I just got for the holidays... I thought I would be so excited to get it.. but i find that these cartridge things are a pain.. Is there any thing I can software I can purchase? From what I am reading I you can no longer use the Sure cuts a lot? Reading a bit a bout versions.. mine is a version 2.43.. Please! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a bunch! It appears my firmware version is 2.43.. so with that I assume that it will not be compatable with sure cuts a lot.. It is an expression.. Maybe I should just try the software to see if it works.

Mindy, I had the same question since I got my cricut in Sept, but I googled it and the 2.43 firmware is comparable with Scal 1 or 2. Let me know if you found somewhere to get it. Here is where I found the info
