thank you very much! 
now it is all much more clear!

I just don't understand HOW is it possible that there is no other 
way to "burn" directly in the EII format...

I hope that the guy who's trying to hack it with a PC will find a 
workaround... :)

btw that's really strange that there is no software for smtg like 
this, be it in a mac or pc or amiga or even commodore or atari 
form...

some dpx-1 disk images would be really fine!

IMHO, I think that after all this time, since the guys who did the 
original libraries are NOT gaining anymore from their hard work, it 
is in our RIGHT to burn our own disk bypassing third-parts vendors...
