A little bit later than planned, I actually tried today the suggested solution of simply putting the 5.3.1 Apple CD driver in the extensions folder of OS 7.5.3. And it works ! So then I immediately created some HFS CD-ROMS with the free trial version of TransMac. These CD-ROMS contain all my OMI & EMU & other Banks. Wow ! Now I have instant access to +1500 banks directly from my Macintosh Classic (the internal 40 MB Hard drive was not really an option...) (OK, I planned to have the same feature directly from my PC but as you know I'm still struggling with communication line stability between my PC and the EII, so I will not throw away yet my Mac for the coming months...years...centuries :-) Thanks guys !! ///E-Synthesist --- In emulatorII-list@yahoogroups.com, "esynthesist" <esynthesist@...> wrote: > > Thx Kenneth & Hexafuzz. > > I'll try all of this. > But perhaps I will not have to use my Mac Classic and SoundDesigner > anymore...
