Hi Esynthesist,

Thanks for the tip.The EII banks on the PC have the .EII extention.  I went ahead and added the file type of .EII to the signiture editor file on MacDisk. I configured the Mac FileType to E2BK and the Mac Creator to XFER. The mac floppy I created did indeed show up as a document file instead of a PC document file on the mac. The SD for EII application still doesn't see the bank when I get the E-2 front panel mode and select Extras-Send Bank to EII. Is there something in SD or other mac program I need to do?
    Hexafuzz has also been giving me a lot of help. I should have realized that the Filetyper551m.sit file was created in a newer version on Stuffit Expander since the windows R13 version of Stuffit had no trouble extracting the Filetyper file. I think Hexafuzz is going to prepare a Filetyper.sit file made with an older version of Dropstuff or stuffit. I couldn't download the newer mac version of Stuffit Expander because the file size is bigger that what I'm allowed to transfer in the free version of MacDisk.
    On another note, the EII banks I've transferred to PC are all recognized in your EMXP program. Will I be able to translate those banks into .E3b format and keep presets, voices, loop points, ADSR settings intact? I've been able to translate voices into .wav files and reassign them into new presets for new software samplers. I was hoping I could translate the .EII banks to .E3b banks and open them in Kontact software sampler. That would be the closest thing to a Emulator II vst or dxi instrument that I could imagine. I know you mentioned that the algorithm that translates the banks works better for some .EII banks than others. Once I've moved those .EII banks to PC, I don't have to worry about resource forks unless I transfer .EII banks back to mac. Is that correct?

Thanks,
Rod

Rod,

Since you're using MacDisk on your PC anyway, you could also solve 
this problem by using MacDisk for transferring your EII files from 
your PC to your Mac. In that case you have to define the 
right "signature" to the EII files in MacDisk first.
E.g. if your PC EII files have the extension ".EII", you can go 
to "Options->Signature Editor" in MacDisk and configure following Mac 
FileType and Mac Creator for the .EII files:
- FileType = E2BK
- Creator = XFER
Once you saved this configuration file, all EII files copied to Mac 
floppy disks or Mac Zip disks with MacDisk will be recognized 
correctly by the Mac...
