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).
1. Turn your K2600 off, if it isn’t off already.
2. Turn it on again, and watch the display carefully. When you see
Please|wait
, press and
release the Exit button. This runs the boot loader. You’ll see the main Boot Loader page: By
default, the option called Install|System is selected.
