Before you begin...
The installation process you are about to do requires only that you open up your MPC60 and exchange
four chips in removable sockets for four new chips. Most of our customers do this installation themselves.
However, if you have never done a simple installation such as this, you may find it difficult. Before you
begin, please read over these installation instructions carefully and decide whether you are comfortable
doing this installation. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it, please ask someone who is more familiar with
simple electronic installations to do it for you. Please note that in the event of a problem resulting from
incorrect installation, we will try to help you but Roger Linn Design is not liable for any damage to your
MPC60 or MPC60-II as a result of problems resulting from your installation. If you do decide to do it
yourself, please follow the instructions slowly and carefully. Thanks.
Before starting, locate the 4 ROM integrated circuit chips that contain the new operating software. In
addition, you will need the following tools:
• A medium Phillips (cross head) screwdriver
• A small flat blade screwdriver (to remove chips from sockets)
• A drumstick or something like a drumstick (to prop the lid of the MPC60 open)
Before doing anything, unplug the power. (Very important!)

Opening the chassis is different for the original MPC60 than for the MPC60-II. Instructions for both are
shown below.
If you have the original MPC60
• Remove 2 screws on each side as indicated in the diagram by the arrows.
