I've uploaded a ZIP package containing 2 EmuII factory banks from Emu.
(GrandPiano 3 and ARP2600, two disks that happened to be on my studio
table :-)
They are in DPX-1 disk format. Use OmniFlop to create the disks.
Instructions are included in the ZIP package.
You can find them here:

I hope it works...
