3. My Mac G4 does not have a disk drive. So today I bought an
Imation USB Floppy Drive so that I could download the new
Karma OS, put it on my Mac formatted floppies, and thereby load
it into my Karma. But the Karma doesn’t read the disks!
You said it all – “Mac formatted floppies”. The Karma reads DOS (PC)
formatted floppies.
Use the Karma to format the disks first, then put them back into the
Floppy Drive and transfer the files. (The Mac will read DOS formatted
floppies).
It’s true that you can also format DOS floppies in the Mac, but in my
experience, sometimes Korg keyboards have problems reading DOS
formatted disks done by the Mac. Your safest bet is to format them in
the keyboard itself.

4. Why do I need two floppies to save my PCG data? Can’t it fit on
one?
You can save to a single floppy by deselecting certain Banks from the
overall save. For example, if you’re putting your own stuff in C & D but
leaving A & B the same as the Factory data, there’s no need to save the A
& B data along with your C & D data every time. This is done by
accessing the “S.Items” (Save Items) portion of the Save dialog. ☞

5. The date and time stamp of a file does not seem to get recorded
right.
The Karma does not instinctively know the day or time. You have to tell
it what it was, like a computer or VCR. In Disk Mode (1.1-3), you can set
the day and time using [UTILITY] -> Set Date/Time, and then your files
will actually be correctly time-stamped. If you care, that is ;-) ☞
