Many thanks whirpool_trainee. The current dw is a Bosch, +8yro and we've repaired it twice at considerable expense along with the "fix" for the panel associated with perhaps a "fire" (no charge by Bosch for the recall). We've spent more on the dw than it is worth. Our kitchen is open to the den and the noise interferes with conversation, tv, music etc... hence the search for something quiet. Your info on the XXL helps! Miele really needs to fix this installation page; it's the same for all models and inconsistent with their specs. The ADA model has a 6" kickplate and I'm told loses about 2" inside, also it is only average on Miele scale of "noise". attofarad; we think alike :-D I really want your interpretation and my interpretation to be correct! I talked to Miele again today; they are very nice and patient with my questions. The rep asked a technical person who said the dw will fit and if it does not they will take it back. They also told me the dw cannot be installed without the feet since the cord exits the unit from the bottom and there is some kind of "drip pan" too. My plan is to have the old dw removed and measure then measure again before ordering. Miele is pretty pricey, but it if lasts for 20 yrs then it's a good deal. Truely, I appreciate the responses from whirlpool_trainee and attofarad.

Yes, I understand your pix..the reader connects to your printer port via cable, then to 110 outlet via adapter. Is this how you are connecting? The software requires 32bit processor, and you have WIN7, but you say you have a program ? that allows earlier WIN programs? You are not set up for private messages. I am.

I have a folder called Palace fonts that consists of capital and small script letters. It is in the pes format. I could email you the file if you would like. If you don't have pes I can convert it to a format that you have. Let me know your email address if you are interested

Perhaps the Computer Help forum might be of assistance.
