one of the disks of an AKAI string library I own combines both AKAI and DOS
formats.  The akai converter in the EXS24 won't read it.  Has anyone had any
experience with this and advise about a workaround?

Many thanks.

Is this Disk 3 of the Garritan Akai?

The reason that it doesn't load is because that CD was specially made 
as a Hybrid Akai/DOS CD. Because the Mac can mount it, the EXS 
doesn't bother to read it low-level.

This was developed before OSX came out that had this restriction.

Workaround? Contact me privately at support@..., I'll have 
to dig up something I did a couple years ago.
