How to copy EII sound banks from computer to floppy disk for Emulator II

How to copy EII sound banks from computer to floppy disk for Emulator II without Sound designer and RS422 cable?
With Kryoflux?

Don't think it's possible as the EII uses it's own formatting process for the disks that a computer can't emulate.

Then as they can be made floppy disk for EII?

The only device I'm aware of that will *ever* be capable of writing EII floppy disks on a PC is indeed KryoFlux.
But currently it doesn't support this yet - the guys from Kryoflux have other priorities in the area of write support: they are focussing on Amiga, Atari and Commodore first.

So... the only way to write EII floppy disks at this moment is using the Emulator II itself.
So if you have .EII (sounddesigner files), e.g. extracted from a CDS3/OMI cdrom or downloaded from the internet, and you want to save them on EII floppy disks, there are three ways - but for each of them you need an Emulator-II to actually write the disks (which is probably what you want to avoid):
- use a Mac and SoundDesigner for EII and send the files to the EII via RS422, and then save the file to floppy disk on the EII --> but that's exactly what you don't want to do...
- use a PC and EMXP and send the files to the EII via RS422 using the EmuSer USB/RS422 adapter, and then save the file to floppy disk on the EII --> I guess that's also not what you want to do...
- install an SD HxC into the EII as a virtual floppy drive, and keep a real floppy drive in the EII too. Copy the files to an SD card on your PC with HxC software, then load the files into the EII via the SD HxC, then save the file to floppy disk on the EII --> for some reason I think you don't want to do this neither :-)

Thank you esynthesist perfect.
