You have it right, Fred.

 The only serial daisy chain is from PC to P3 to K3.  The amp and KAT500 have independent connections to a PC.  There is a15 pin ACC cable from K3 thru KAT500 to KPA500.

The instructions told me to go to the P3 before the K3, and to put the KAT500 in between the K3 and KPA500.  This has worked for me from the very beginning, not long after the Big Bang, and for ever after ... well, at least as far as we've gotten.
