Instant instructions to use the
downloaded file to update your KN5000:
You must copy the ZIPped file kn5kv10.zip to
a harddisk directory like c:\kn5000up because there is not enough space for the
two unzipped files on a diskette
1. Unzip the file called KNUPDATE.ZIP with
WINZIP
2. The result will be 2
files.
3. One
of them is the DOS executable DOSIMAGE.EXE and can be used to create a
disk.
4. Insert a new blank disk in drive
A:
5. Type in the command : DOSIMAGE RESTORE
Kn5kv10.img a:
Note! Lower case a:
6. After DOSIMAGE did his work the result will be a
perfect copy of a original update DISK !
When you really want to update your KN5000
:
1. Switch power OFF
2. Insert the 'update-disk' in the KN5000
drive.
3.
Press (keep pressing) PM1, PM2, PM3 and PM4 simultaniously while switching power
ON.
4. At
first the display show 'Please wait !' (you can release the four PM
buttons now)
5. Then after a few seconds you'll see that
Updating goes automatically.
6. Updating takes a few minutes and at the end you
are asked to Reboot. (Power OFF and ON)
It seems several dealers don't like
the idea, people update KN's themselves ! (They tell KN-owners, only dealers are
capable to do thes things !??) General
Music Instruments has a WEB-page where product updates can be downloaded and it
is 'normal' customers do updating themselves !! (Take a look at http://generalmusic.com/ )
In some countries dealers say "A KN5000 is bug-free
!" We all know better..... don't we ?
You are all 'free' to use upgraded versions or not,
but when you are not 100% of the quality of the disk you created, don't use it.
(I don't like to be blamed when something goes wrong. The only responsible
person is you... not me !)
