The PC3 can be updated by one of two methods:
This update kit includes two OBJECT files (.PC3), a "BASE" file for all units and an additional "KORE 64" file for those installing the KORE 64 Sound ROM Expansion option:
If installing KORE 64: in addition to the OS itself, you will be installing BOTH PC3OB212.PC3 (Base Objects) and XKORE225.PC3 (KORE 64 Objects)If NOT installing KORE 64: in addition to the OS itself, you will ONLY install PC3OB212.PC3 (Base Objects)
Note: if NOT installing KORE 64 at this time, but obtain it at some later point, you will then need to reinstall this update, using both the Base and KORE 64 files.
