For such a big company it should be possible to include a checksum verifyier into the uploaded firmware and display OK/not OK on the organ's display.

Good questions; it only works if Korg delivers a good user guide and offers some backup (or start-all-over-again) feature.

SHURE

>2. If you are, would you still be interested if the update had to be made by a dealer or repair center, or you had to ship the unit back to KORG?

YES (dealer)
NO (ship to Korg)

>3. Would it be OK if the update ran as a DOS program, from a clean boot (floppy) only?

BEST SOLUTION (no problems with OS)

>4. If you want a user-quality update, with wider OS support, would you be willing to pay for it? How much: $25 (US)? $50? More?

I don't need that, but if the software would give some other enhancements (like backup/restore the SysEx dumps of the organ) it would be a valuable price.
