Ive got a load of ethnic akai samples that i transfered into wavs..
Think those disks at the time were only £1.25 each!
I see the EMU world CD roms on ebay. If you knew someone with an EMU 
sampler or could transfer them into wav's (or what you need) for you 
that could be another way. Chicken sys "translator" might well be 
able to do it?
Also when a friend sold his Yamaha A5000 we copied all the CD roms 
sample disks that came with it. Now of course we cant read them 
without a yamaha sampler but if you open up the disk contents as raw 
sample data you will be very suprised at what you might get ;o)
