EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I am getting ready to fire up my system "MAC" G5 Dual 2.7 gig (non-
intel)running OSX 10.4 Logic Pro 7.2. I realize that it comes with 
EXS42 MKII, however, I also have a hugh library (spent thousands $$$) 
of original EXS24 format samples and AKAI format samples that I used to 
load and play with the EXS24 in my old MAC, funning Logic 6 and OSX 9.  
So my question is, will I be able to load/use/convert/play these in 
EXS24 MkII on my new system?  I have also purchased Rematica EXS 
Manager Pro and Autosampler, that I am going to download. If not, is 
there another virtual sampler on the market that I can purchase that 
will allow me to atleast load and play the AKAI format samples!  I have 
no desire to purchase a Hardware AKAI Sampler, I sold my S5000 a long 
time ago.  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP???

No worry, your new EXS mark II will play the "old" EXS programs and 
samples, plus it can easily import Akai S-1000/3000 and Giga files too.

(The only exception to your request is EXS will not import Giga3 
programs (would be recent libraries) and Akai S-5000 programs. You'd 
need a third-party convertor for that.)
