___________________INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS__________________

The complete procedure for installing flash files is included in Appendix A of the K2600 Performance Guide. For your convenience, here's a summary of the procedure:

We always recommend that you save any RAM objects to disk before doing any OS or Objects installations

1. Copy the file OBJKB300.K26 onto a DOS formatted floppy. If you have also downloaded any of the ROM Options files, unzip them and copy them to a second floppy.

2. Start the K2600

3. Press and release the Exit key while the "Please wait..." message is displayed. This brings up the K2600 Boot Loader.

4. Insert the floppy with the file OBJKB300.K26, then choose "Install Objects" from the Boot Loader menu.

5. Highlight "floppy" at the "Device to install from:" prompt. Press OK. Highlight the file named "OBJKB300.K26". Press OK, then follow the prompts on the display to load this object set. The Display then returns to the "Device to Install From" display.

At this point, you have two choices. If you need to install object files for the ROM block options, press OK, and proceed to step 6. If you don't have any ROM blocks, then jump to step 7.

6. If you have any options in your unit, insert the floppy with the Options files on it. Repeat the Object Installation procedure for each additional file you need to install. For example, if the K2600 has the Orchestral ROM and Sampling Options installed, you should install the OBJKB300.K26, OBJKO101.K26, and OBJKL101.K26 object files.

7. When you have loaded all the Object files that you require, you will again be asked to choose a "Device to install from:" Press Done. The Kurzweil will finish installing the Objects and you will be returned to the Boot Loader menu.

8. When the installation is finished, choose "Run System" from the Boot Loader.

While you won't normally need to reinstall the object files, you should still put the disks in a safe place, just in case you may need them again.

Note: you can also install these files from a DOS or Kurzweil formatted SCSI disk. When the display asks which device you want to install from, change the parameter to the appropriate SCSI ID.
