Hi,
The EII sample CDROM's work in a CDROM player connected directly to the EII
over RS422. They cannot be read directly by a Mac or PC, as they are in EII
file format. The only CDROM drives that will work with the EII were made by
OMI and work over RS422 - they are long since obsolete and many have died.
You can load samples from the OMI CDROM into the EII and save the bank to
diskette. Then you can power off and connect up the Mac running SD for EII
to the EII RS422, power on, load the sample and download the sample to the
Mac using SD for EII. You may also be able to get the Mac, CDROM player and
EII working on one RS422 connection, as the CDS3 has RS422 passthrough I
think. You should never unplug the RS422 connection whilst the EII is
powered up - or you may blow the driver chips.

Either way its a long process to migrate the OMI samples from CDROM into SD
for EII. We have about 800 samples done, and the remaining FX samples are
not really worth the effort. We don't distribute these samples as OMI still
exist as QUpArts - so there is a copyright issue. QUparts wanted too much
money for the distribution rights, so we cannot offer them commercially.

We have numerous other EII libraries including the E-mu factory library, FMS
and Burmer Collection.

OMI still sell the original EII CDROM's as well as the same samples in SD
format for the Mac (they will read into a Mac CDROM drive!) - they can be
contacted at www.quparts.com

Hi Laurent,
If I may ask you some advice...I'm also trying to
download the Cd rom for the EII into my Sound Designer
program, and the program works great on it's own,
however I can't get the Cdrom drive to be recognized
by the computer, let alone the program.
I am using a stand alone apple 300 Cdrom connected to
an MacII SE. (via the smaller SCSI port)
Do I need a software driver for this thing? Anyone who
has a working setup please help!!
Thanks,
Mike
