Re: EII to DPX translation software

2007-12-16 by mborish_2000

I'm very interested in acquiring more factory sounds for my EII.  I 
do not have the Mac SDII setup or the RS422 board for that matter.  
I have a 5.25 floppy in drive one and a 3.5 floppy from route 66 in 
drive two.  How can I get more sounds for this thing?  I would 
prefer to have them on 3.5 DD disks, or, if there is a way that I 
could buy the CD and then convert them to DD disks? If I could do it 
with Windows XP, that would be a grand slam.  I'm very open to 
creative ideas.
