Dear Roger, Bill, Alec, John
You must think me awfully rude for not having responded to all your helpfulness.
EXPLANATION & APOLOGY FOLLOWS - but you may wish to skip over this paragraph as it's quite boring ! I had to teach this afternoon/evening (also have 4 hours non-stop tomorrow, Sat) and have been sitting up to 1.30am trying to figure out what my daughter has done to our old XP laptop when she had it at university. Seems to have disabled the onboard sound card to make room perhaps for all her graphics programmes until she got her own laptop. Have spent hours downloading drivers/restarting etc and have been all through My Computer, with a tooth comb (though not literally, you may be pleased to hear!). Will see what happens if I plug in some cheap USB speakers as I can't find the sound card !!!! " NO AUDIO DEVICE" It never was my own personal laptop (hubbies). I used to have a desktop with a Soundblaster Audigy - but the wretched thing blew - it was 11 years old, but I kept upgrading it (obviously a bit too long!!!)
I AM SO APPRECIATIVE OF ALL YOUR HELP & CONCERN and can't believe, John, that you have gone to so much trouble considering your present circumstances.
That really is Marvellous news about the Jukebox v5. (I have sent PMs to John & Roger). Have you tried it on the KN7 yet, Roger?
Very interesting about the Toshiba laptop SD, Alec. (So happy you still take an interest in the Technics forum). (Unfortunately, my old laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens). Can't wait to have another go with the old thing at lunch time - after the required cup of tea etc.
Sorry to be so brief (?????) but sleep calls…..

Ooh! Thanks to you both.
Oh dear, John! Yes perhaps I'd better try and get it then!!!!!
Incidentally, have ordered a whole load of 2GB SDs from various places, (some of which have later confessed they don't actually have them even though on their website). But just hoping I can get at least a couple of SDs that actually work, (the 4 x Sandisks, all 1GB, wouldn't work in the KN7, even though fine in Jukebox).
I really want to get into the audio side, possibly combining with sequencing for the odd number (e.g. to add lines for my choir to sing, or whatever), so I really will need enough SD room for audio. Just wish I'd hopped onto the KN7 bandwagon a few years earlier!!!

There really is no need to use floppy disks on the 7K, except to upgrade the system or use the midi or file type converters.
Say you have the supplied 8MB card still, use that as your download transfer "floppy".
Format the 8MB card, then perform any normal SD save on the KN7000 to the card.
Open on the computer, open the Private, Technics, KN7000 folders, delete the Kn7000mn.inf file (and the Kn7000mn.bak file if you have it). Open the TFLD001 folder and delete all the contents.
Job done.
Now copy the technics format files from inside the thread download zip to the TFLD001 folder.
You can see and load them in the 7k... name them properly and save to your other larger daily use SD card.
Next time you have some new technics format files, just delete the 2 inf and bak files, and empty the 001 folder again.
The technics format files must be numbered 01 to 20, you can just copy any complete floppy disk of 7k, 6k5, 6k, 5k, 3k, 2k format to the 001 folder to see all files in the 7k at once - unbelievably quicker than loading 20 files off floppy individually.
If you want to copy many floppy disks at once just create TFLD002, TFLD003 etc folders next to the 001 folder, fill each with a max of 20 technics format file groups numbered 01 to 20.
Then throw those awful floppys away, on the 7k they are just a waste of valuable lifetime!
