I've not tried to make a custom OSRCD for a Qube3, but I do rename all the
updates/patches and they still install ok.

I rename them for 2 reasons;

1.  MacOS compatibility (i.e. filenames < 32 characters)

2.  Add a numerical prefix so I know the installation order.

At last count I believe there were 26 updates available for the Qube3.  Only
16 - 26 are applicable to the Qube3+

Perhaps the installer you refer to is whats on the OSRCD and not whats on a
running Qube3.

Cheers,  Malcolm
