The ATM Turbo (ru: "АТМ-ТУРБО"), also known simply as ATM (from ru: "Ассоциация Творческой Молодёжи", meaning "Association of Creative Youth") is a ZX Spectrum clone, developed in Moscow in 1991, by two firms, MicroArt and ATM. It offers enhanced characteristics, compared to the original Spectrum, such as a , RAM, ROM, AY-8910 (two chips in upgraded models), 8-bit DAC, 8-bit 8-channel ADC, RS-232, parallel port, Beta Disk Interface, IDE interface, AT/XT keyboard, text mode ( , , ), and three new graphics modes. The ATM can be emulated in Unreal Speccy v0.27 and higher.

ATM Turbo 1 (1991)

Features: Processor: Zilog Z80 at 3.5 and 7 MHz (turbo mode) RAM: 128 to 512 KB ROM: 64 to 128 KB Memory manager: standard for ZX Spectrum 128 (memory over 64KB is addressed through a window in the upper 16KB of address space), with the ability to include a zero page of RAM in the lower 16KB of the address space Graphics video modes: Standard ZX Spectrum mode (256x192, 2 colors per block of 8x8 pixels from 16 colors); 320x200 with 16 colors per pixel; 640x200 high resolution mode with 2 out of 16 colors per 8x1 pixels Color palette: 64 colors, 16 can be used at the same time Firmware: 48K BASIC / 128K BASIC; TR-DOS; CP/M 2.2 Supported external drives: tape recorder (audio cassette); disk drive Sound devices: standard 1-bit beeper; AY-3-8910; Covox Additional devices: SECAM encoder for connection to a color TV; single-channel DAC; modem; parallel interface for connecting a printer; stereo audio amplifier (2x1W) Keyboard: mechanical matrix, standard ZX Spectrum layout (40 keys) or extended (64 keys)

ATM Turbo 2 (1993)

New features (relative to ATM Turbo 1): Memory manager: the ability to include any page of RAM or ROM in any of the quarters of the address space Text mode: 80x25 text video mode, characters are stored in the character generator ROM. It is possible to set any of 16 colors for the symbol and background Hardware vertical scrolling in 320x200 and 640x200 modes Supported external drives: controller for IDE devices (hard drives of any capacity, CD-ROM ); Digital PLL added to floppy controller Additional devices: eight-channel DAC Keyboard: XT keyboard support, on-chip RAM 537RU10 Removed: SECAM encoder

ATM Turbo 2+

New features (comparing to ATM Turbo 2): RAM: 128 to 1024 KB Additional devices: RS-232 interface; channel switch for DAC Keyboard: support for XT and AT keyboards, based on the 1816BE31 (i8031) microcontroller The xBIOS ROM has been specially developed for ATM Turbo 2+ with support for virtual floppies ROM version of Mr Gluk Reset Service Removed: Modem

ZX Evolution

New features (comparing to ATM Turbo 2+): Turbo mode up to 14 MHz, switchable via menu and software RAM: 4MB 2 expansion slots according to the ZXBUS standard, for connecting General Sound, etc. Flexible architecture based on FPGA (EP1K50) - third-party firmware available SD card with transparent BIOS support (EVO RESET SERVICE) Added VGA video output Non-volatile clock according to Mr Gluk standard, IDE interface according to Nemo standard, mouse according to Kempston Mouse standard Video scan rate similar to that of the Pentagon, with full support of border and multicolor effects
