Hi Derek, you wrote "when I pressed the load button".

No load button is involved, my post said insert disk 1 hold down the first 4 panel memories and switch on. If nothing happens the disks have not been written correctly.

OK, I made a new disc 2 but still nothing. I translated the German PDF and it said "after some time" refering to disc 2. I can hear whirring from disc 2 but nothing happens on screen. I am using the German download - does someone perhaps have another copy somewhere? Is 5 min a reasonable wait time, or should it happen sooner?

There must be something wrong with the downloads. I just reformatted both floppies and remade discs 1 and 2. Still no joy. I wonder if brand new floppies are what is needed, although these ones formatted with no problems. Any suggestions?

there is nothing wrong with the downloads. I just downloaded them, made the disks on a usb floppy drive on a very old floppy disk ran them on the 7k and the checkdisk passed fine.

I have the original disks that I used to upgrade my KN7000 but am not sure if the disks can be copied. I recall that the KN5000 upgrades required special image copies for them to work. Alec, do you know if the disks can be copied so that they could be sent as attachments? I've never tried. I closed all my web sites shortly after I lost my wife so I have no place to post them for download.

Oops . . Don't need to worry about copies. Must have been typing at the same time as Alec.

technicsplayer - how long did you wait before disk 2 was checked?

Bob, the last time I tried the files had to be copied in a specific order to work, a windows alpha copy (or unzip) did not work, but that may depend on the windows (or rather underlying dos) version used, this was after all some years ago, way before media centre edition etc. I made my own image self extractors because of this, but as I have shown it is immaterial since there is nothing wrong with the download under discussion.
All the best.

it takes slighlty less time than the first disk before the completed confirmation since the data file is around 10% smaller.

What version on KN7000.
Hi Folks.
I have just read all the posts on updating the KN7000.
I cannot at this time try to update I have no KN7000 It's very sick!!!!
But I wonder if success in updating is due to formatting the Floppies in the KN7000 instead the PC.Just a thought.
Regards to all.

Hi every one,

My KN 7000 says version 1.3

Are there significant differences between version 1.3 and 1.4?

Many thanks,
Doron
