I was so excited about this that I bypassed the
MacDisk thing and dropped some *.EII image files on a
PC formatted ZIP and brought it over to the Mac. 

I then edited manually the Type and Creator code info
with ResEdit and the SD bank loaded up fine.

Type = E2BK
Creator = XFER

This solution will work in other instances where there
may have been file translation problems with banks.

"FileTyper" for Macintosh is handy for doing this in
large batches.

To avoid running my zips into the ground, I would like
to experiment with just using FTP to get the files
across LAN and using FileTyper with an Applescript.
That might be the ultimate "modern" E2 setup. I still
use Alchemy, heh. [w]
