Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

HI,

i am new here, and i want to know if anybody has experienece with the 
creation of the flash simms using a emu sampler.
id like to convert some of my favorite synths and kits from akai 
sample CDs and burn them on a flash rom.
my cuestions are,
is it a easy job to do this?
and
is it necesary to use original emu flash simms, or is there any 
possibility to make it in a cheeper way

kind regards-happy new year
