Like most of you, I have the EII library cd to use with my SD mac and EII but, I was wondering 
about writing these files onto 3.5" disks to use directly in the EII's 3.5" drive.  Do the files 
have to be converted in some way before putting them straight into the EII or is the .EII file 
format used by SD the same as those used on disks?
Cheers,

sorry, It's not the same file format.
You have to send the files via SD to the EII and then save them
'manually' on your disks.

Hi 

In fact I'm pretty sure the SD layout is the same as the layout of the 
bank stored on an EII disk, except for the fact that the EII disk may 
also contain the OS on the remaining 70K of the disk.
Anyway, this won't help you because there's no way that you can write 
EII disks (either 3.5" or 5.25") on a PC or a Mac. The sector/track 
protocol of the EII is not supported by the BIOS/Controllers of a 
PC/Mac.
So it's true that the only way to get these files on EII disks is by 
sending them to the EII with SD and then save them to disk.
