| + | ===== About the program ===== | ||
| + | |< 100% >| | ||
| + | || @red: | | ||
| + | |||
| + | <tab>Unicard manager is a program for computers SHARP MZ-700, MZ-800 and MZ-1500. It uses one of the Unicard's communication interfaces [[en:unicard:z15mzfrepo|MZFREPO]] and with its help allows for the following functions in working with the Unicard: | ||
| + | * viewing the SD card contents | ||
| + | * running programs from the SD card (MZF, MZT) | ||
| + | * connecting and disconnecting images of the emulated peripherals (FD, QD, RAM, EMM) | ||
| + | * restarting the computer | ||
| + | |||
| + | The program is different for each of the above mentioned computers, even though the source code are partially the same, therefore it is necessary to use the correct version of the Unicard manager on a given platform. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The program is usually run automatically through [[en:unicard:mzfloader|MZFloader]]. | ||

| + | || @red: | | ||
| + | <tab>If we select a file with a file extension **MZF**, **MZT** or **M12**, a message with **Y/N/ESC** will show, if we really want to run this program. If we reply yes by pressing the **Y** key, the program will run. | ||

| + | <tab>When running a file with file extension MZF on MZ-800, the message will, along with **Y/N/ESC**, also allow pressing the **J** key for turning on the Japanese characters support. This is needed for running Japanese programs for MZ-700 (games, demos), which require it for displaying correctly. | ||

| + | || @red: | | ||
| + | <tab>Using the Unicard manager we can connect files of images of the emulated peripherals. You only have to select the required file and press the **ENTER** key. The Unicard manager will create a configuration file in folder **\unicard** for the emulated peripheral and write in it the path and name of the file with the selected image. To activate the emulated peripherals the computer needs to be turn off and on again. Each emulated peripheral has a set file extension of the file, based on which the Unicard Manager determines the type of the emulated peripheral and the name of the configuration file: | ||
