## UNA Usage Notes
- At startup, UNA will display a prompt similar to this:
`Boot UNA unit number or ROM? [R,X,0..3] (R):`
You generally want to choose 'R' which will then launch the RomWBW
loader. Attempting to boot from a disk using a number at the UNA
prompt will only work for the legacy (hd512) disk format. However,
if you go to the RomWBW loader, you will be able to perform a disk
boot on either disk format.
- The disk images created and distributed with RomWBW do not have the
correct system track code for UNA. In order to boot to disk under
UNA, you must first use SYSCOPY to update the system track of the
target disk. The UNA ROM disk has the correct system track files
for UNA: `CPM.SYS` and `ZSYS.SYS`. So, you can boot a ROM OS and
then use one of these files to update the system track.
- Only Z-System and CP/M 2 are available OSes under UNA at this time.
Since NZ-COM launches from CP/M 2, it is usable. p-System is not
usable under UNA.
- Some of the RomWBW-specific applications are not UNA compatible.
