Nono, you can also convert SD2 files from any Mac and/or ProTools session,
I've done so in the past.
I don't remember the exact procedure anymore (had to do it on a friends
machine back then), but you have to open your files as "raw" data and check
some "Motorola/Big Endian" box in the following file dialog. From what I
remember knowing the samplerate and if its mono/stereo helps, but I'm not
too sure, maybe SF does that automatically.

Btw, for those interested, here's the little freeware converter tool for PC,
doing a nice job in converting SD2 to wave:

Usually this works way better than SF and Awave together - unfortunately I
wasn't able to get proper results with the Rougin samples though.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
