Awaiting 64mb expansion cards. Looking for direction.

I tried downloading patches from Korg Patches but found out the reason they weren't loading was the lack of memory so I purchased the 64mb expansion from Ebay and am awaiting it's arrival.
I do have the manual but would appreciate a brief synopsis of the process.
I've spent the majority of my time with my Yamaha EX5 and SY99 and now it's time to see how my TR responds to downloads.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Memory installed. Ready to load. No responses?

I've never been in a forum with so little input from it's members. Why even have a forum?

Welcome to the forum!
The Triton LE / TR is an older model, so this forum doesn't get quite as much attention unfortunately as the other models. I've often thought the various Triton sub-forums should be collapsed into one for this very reason, but I digress.
The installation is incredibly easy. It's simply a matter of switching the power off, turning the Triton over and removing half a dozen screws from one of the two small covers on the bottom (I forget which one as I don't own a Triton anymore).
The two RAM modules then clip in - if you've had experience installing RAM in a computer before, it's incredibly easy. If not, there's plenty of videos online that show the process.
Reattach the panel cover and turn it on - if all went okay, the boot screen will say DIMM1: 32MB, DIMM2: 32MB and you're done!
No problem with the DRAMM/SIMM....

My reference was to assistance downloading/transfering the files PCG and other files used on this system. Installing the DRAMM/SIMM was a piece of cake....done in minutes.
I finally managed to load the "Emulated Pianos" patch from the downloads area. Since the bulk of my time and attention have been with the EX5 and SY99 I'm a little behind the curve with these type of files and how to extract/load them to the TR88.
I am aware of the limitation of not being able to load or transfer effects as it's limited to one by the TR but I would imagine that there are work arounds for this deficiency.
One problem that I see is with KMF files. They seem to be plentiful but appear to accomplish little other than multiplying!
I suppose it could be the order in which they are extracted/unzipped. Don't really know....that's why I'm here...to learn. Korg doesn't write the most "user friendly" manuals....
