Kurzweil K2600 Version 1.03 Operating System Information

This zipped archive contains the first release of the operating system for your Kurzweil K2600 Series Instrument. 

The complete procedure for installing the operating system is included in Appendix A of the K2600 Performance Guide. For your convenience, here's a summary of the procedure:

1. The Operating system is in two parts. Copy the files K2V103A.KOS and K26V103B.KOS onto two DOS formatted floppy disks.

2. Start the K2600.

3. Press and release the Exit key while the "Please wait..." message is displayed. This brings up the K2600 Boot Loader.

4. Insert the floppy with the file K2V103A.KOS, then select "Install System" from the K2600 Boot Loader to install the new operating system. Follow through the dialogs to install the file from floppy.

5. The Boot Loader finishes installing the first file and returns to the Booot Loader screen with Run System hilighted. Insert the floppy with the file K2V103B.KOS, then select Install System again and repeat the installation for the second part of the file.

6. When the installation is finished, choose "Run System" from the Boot Loader.

While you won't normally need to reinstall the operating system, you should still put the disk in a safe place, just in case you may need it again.

Note: you can also install these files from a DOS or Kurzweil formatted SCSI disk. When the display asks which device you want to install from, change the parameter to the appropriate SCSI ID. You can only install files from a SCSI disk which is 1 gig or smaller.

We recommend performing a hard reset after installing and running the new system. Choose the Reset soft button from the Master page. (Save any RAM objects to disk before performing a reset.)
