The demo disk contains a model configuration and several Sharp programs for familiarizing yourself with the Unicard. The basic program for controlling the Unicard is the Unicard Manager. This program is run automatically. From it, it is possible to run MZF, map floppy disk drives, Quick Disk, RAM disk etc. The running of Unicard manager is ensured in several ways:

The Configuration of the Unicard
If you put the ramdisc.dat or mzfloader.mzq file into the /unicard folder, they will be mapped with higher priority into the RAM: or QD: regardless of any other configuration files and settings in the Unicard manager.

The contents of the demo disk for a SHARP MZ-1500 are similar to the demo disk for SHARP MZ-800 in terms of structure and configuration files. When it comes to configuration files, running the Unicard manager, placing firmware for updating and connecting the peripherals using CFG files, the same rules apply as with Sharp MZ-800. Only the firmware and the Unicard manager are different in their contents, because they are programmed specifically for Sharp MZ-1500.

To the owners of MZ-1500 computers I recommend also going through the contents of the demo disk for MZ-800. The common information for both computers is described in detail in this part of the Unicard demo disk description.
