Press and hold the EXIT button while you power-up the PC3LE. Release the EXIT button when the Boot Loader's menu of options appears on the screen. The options shown are:

(If connecting directly via USB a PC3LE device image/temporary-drive will appear on your desktop as an icon or a window).
The software files need to be either (a) copied to a USB storage device and then physically transfered to the PC3LE -or- (b) sent to the PC3LE via direct USB cable connection. OS files will have the extension ".BIN". Soundware object files have the extension ".PLE". Boot Loader Files have the extension ".KBB". One of each is included in this download.
(a) To copy using a USB device: connect USB device to your computer, then copy the PC3 OS (.BIN), Object (.PC3) and Boot Loader (.KBB) files to the device using the method specific to your computer system. Eject the device from your computer then connect it to the PC3LE "Storage" USB port.
(b) To copy directly via USB: when you entered the Boot Loader, connected to your computer (as detailed above) a PC3LE device image/temporary drive should have appeared on your desktop as an icon or a window depending on the operating system. As you will be updating the Boot Block first, drag and drop just the Boot Loader file (.KBB) into the PC3LE desktop drive/window for now.
