I have checked the O/S on my 7000 and it is only 1.3. I wonder if that may be part of the cause of my problems in other topics. I have downloaded O/S 1.4 which is the forerunner of 1.6 which I presume is the current version. Unfortunately my German is limited to jah und nein which aint a lot of help in reading the installation instructions. Does anyone know from where an English translation is available?

Regards,

Trevor

Trevor, I very much doubt if your older version of the OS is causing any of your reported problems. Your problem with transferring Bernie's styles is not related to the KN7000 OS.
I still have version 1.3 on both my KN7000 - as have many other owners - and have not experienced any problems. The changes effected by the upgrades are only minor corrections.

Hello trevorjohn,

according to constellation it could be better to instal the last version 1.4 and 1.6.
It is anyway no disadvantage!

I have described the difference to the version 1.3 in another forum.
http://www.kn7000.net/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=492

There is, I believe no translation into English. If you needed help for the installation, I could help for you. Indeed, my English does not especially feel well.

Hello Trevor,

Firstly, I tried to reply to your email using the information you gave, but it was returned by my server as not being recognised. I am wondering whether something has been left out - a 'dot' perhaps. Can you send it again please?

Secondly, I've just checked my KN7 and it too is a 1.3 version and, I have to say, I've still not been able to load Bernie's styles either. In fact, Bernie's, Arild's and Bill's have all appeared on my desktop and the SD card shows them, but when I load the SD to the KN, I get the message the card is empty. I have tried every way I can think of to get them to load and put it down to the fact that I'm still using my troublesome PC but, now that you've mentioned the version, I am wondering whether that has anything to do with it.

Having said all that, from what I can see of them, I am not too worried because I have most of them anyway (from various sources) so if and when you visit, you can look at my cards.

Audrey

I have owned three different Kn7000 and I try to live by -- "If it's not broke don't fix it".
In short if I am getting what I want what am I fixing? My short memory tells me that some were having problems after updating the O/S, nothing more.

There is very little out there that can effect the O/S of the Kn7, it has been set up beautifully so go with caution.

Hello,

many colleagues from the German Technics forum have written about similar problems with the KN 7000. After the installation of 1.4 and 1.6 these problems would have been repaired.

Why has Technics published the version 1.4 and 1.6?

Probably because they are an improvement to 1.3.

I myself have installed 1.4 and 1.6 and no problems with to the KN 7000.

On my SD Card ( 1 GB) I have two systems:

1. 99 folders of the normal operating system
2. 240 folders from the SP 7001 plug-in

With the key "Favorites" I can switch over between the system.

I need the normal operating system, so that I can insert the marks ( Sheets) as pictures.

Greeting

HarryG

Both of my 7000's were upgraded from 1.3 to 1.4 and finally to V1.6, without any problems. I used the disks provided by Technics USA for the V1.6 upgrade. It was a very simple task from my perspective. I believe Alec wrote a procedure for the upgrade in his KN7000 book. Technics also provided a procedure with the disks they sent to me. So I have that procedure in English somewhere around here.

BUT, knowing how much trouble some folks are having trying to do a "SD restore" of Bernie's styles from Bill's web site I would hesitate to suggest that the upgrade be tried by anyone who does not feel totally confident that they can do the job.
