ATM (computer)

ATM (ATM Turbo) is a ZX Spectrum clone, developed in Moscow, in 1991, by two firms, MicroArt and ATM. It has a Z80 at 7 MHz, 1024 kB RAM, 128 kB ROM, AY-8910 (two ones in upgraded models), 8-bit DAC, 8-bit 8-channel ADC, RS-232, Centronics, Beta Disk Interface, IDE interface, AT/XT keyboard, text mode (80x25, 16 colours, 8x8 pattern), and 3 graphics modes.

Graphics modes
  • 640 x 200 mode, with 2 out of 16 colors per 8x1 pixels. Difference from Profi (computer) is that the ATM can use the full 16 colour set for both ink and paper.
  • 320 x 200 mode (16 colours) is ordinary raster mode, but not similar to EGA (it is two-pixel chunky, not planar like EGA). Two games for this mode were converted directly from PC: Prince of Persia and Goblins (computer game), and one from Sony PlayStation: Time Gal. Some other games for this mode exist. The latter one is Ball Quest (August, 2006).
  • 256 x 192 ZX Spectrum mode.
  • Palette (16 colours from 64) is set for all modes.

Models

Many models exist. Models < v6.00 are called ATM 1, later models are called ATM 2(2+) or ATM Turbo 2(2+) or simply Turbo 2+. IDE is available since v6.00.JIO0UBH9BY8B9T7GVC6R The latest model is 7.18.[1]

History

ATM was developed on basis of the famous Pentagon (computer).

ATM was produced until 1994 by ATM and MicroArt, then the firms separated and soon closed the production.

In 2004 NedoPC (Moscow) continued the production.[8]

Emulator

Unreal Speccy v0.27 and higher.
