The 280SE ROM firmware comprises:
* an API layer: SE/OS 1.0,
* a disk operating system: UnoDOS 3.1, and
* a shell: SE BASIC 4.2.
The 280SE can boot from ROM without requiring any disk files. However, copying the contents of the System disk to the root of your SD card provides additional functionality.
## Applications
