[. . . ] Installing Kurzweil K2600 ROM Options Thank you for buying a ROM option for your K2600. This document shows you how to install any of the ROM option kits into any K2600 instrument, whether it's a keyboard model or a rackmount model. What's In This Document · · · · · · · · · · Option Kits and Part Numbers . 3 Tools and Materials Required for Installation . 4 Installing ROM Option Cards (Keyboard or Rack-Mount Models) . [. . . ] Operating system files have a one-character suffix to the version, identifying the two parts of the entire set of operating system data. Extension: three characters following a dot, and identifying the file type to the K2600. Object files (including those containing programs, songs--all the objects you can save with the K2600) have the extension K26. Operating system files have the extension KOS. · Throughout this document, we use placeholders to represent the version numbers in filenames. Instead of using specific version numbers, we use nnn to represent any version of a file--as expressed in the description of filename prefixes, above. 8 Installing Kurzweil K2600 ROM Options Installing Object Files Organizing the Object Files We strongly recommend that you get the object files for your options in order before you begin installing them. Otherwise it's easy to lose track of what you've installed and what you haven't. If you install an object file more than once, things will still work, but you might not have enough ROM space for all the object files, in which case you'll have to start over and install all the object files again. If you forget to install an object file, you'll definitely have to start over and install all the object files again. The table beginning on page 13 lists all the possible combinations of options, and the corresponding object files to install for each combination of options. To determine which files you need to install, go to the table and look in the "Option name" (first) column. Find the entry that matches the options that you now have in your instrument (that is, after installing any new options). Then look in the second column to find the object files that you'll need to install. For example, if you have the sampling feature, the Orchestral ROM option, and have just installed the Contemporary ROM option, you'll need to install the base-objects file (remember to install it before the other object files). After that, you'll need to install the Orchestral, Contemporary, and Live-mode object files (the Live-mode object file is for the sampling feature). The third column of the table gives the names of the object files as they appear in the K2600 display. If you have a hard disk connected to your K2600, we recommend putting all the required object files into a single directory that contains no other files. This will make it easier to keep track of things as you progress. If you don't have a hard disk, organize your floppy disks in the order in which you want to install the objects. Note: If you have a partitioned disk drive, all of these files need to be in the first partition (that's the only partition visible to the boot loader). In either case, it's a good idea to refer to Table 1 while installing object files, checking off each file as you install it. Don't forget to load the files in the order you see listed under the "Files to install" column. Using the Boot Loader to Install the Files The boot loader is the special utility that enables you to install ROM option objects into the K2600's flash ROM (unlike Disk mode, which loads objects into RAM). Turn your K2600 off, if it isn't off already.
