The problem (so well known it’s in the manual for UniQuest!) lies in the UniQuest program using the old Mac way of file recognition. The .BNK file is indeed compatible but it needs the correct TYPE and CREATOR flags in the file system to be recognized by UniQuest (OS 9 heritage). You need a program like FileBuddy or XRay to change them to type SQDA and creator SQUQ. You might also try “fixing permissions” using Apple’s Disk Utility included with OSX. Also be sure to download the latest version of the EWI4000s Editor from AkaiPro.com.
