ATM (computer)

ATM was developed in 1991 based on the Pentagon, a ZX Spectrum clone popular in Russia. In 1992 an upgraded model was introduced, named ATM Turbo 2. Up to 1994 the computer was produced by ATM and MicroArt; later the firms separated and production ended.

In 2004 NedoPC from Moscow resumed production.{{Cite web |title=Официальный сайт группы NedoPC! |trans-title=Official website of the NedoPC group! |url=http://nedopc.com/ |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=nedopc.com |language=Russian}} New versions called ATM Turbo 2+ and ZX Evolution were introduced.{{Cite web |title=ATM-turbo 1,2(+),3/ZX-Evolution: официальный сайт поддержки |trans-title=ATM-turbo 1,2(+),3/ZX-Evolution: official support site |url=http://atmturbo.nedopc.com/ |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=atmturbo.nedopc.com |language=Russian}}

For compatibility purposes, the original {{nowrap|256 x 192}} ZX Spectrum mode is available.

New graphics modes offer expanded abilities:

• {{nowrap|640 x 200}} mode, with 2 out of 16 colors per 8x1 pixels. The Profi offers a similar mode, but the ATM can use the full {{nowrap|16 colour}} set for both ink and paper.
• {{nowrap|320 x 200}} mode with a {{nowrap|16 colours}} raster mode (a two-pixel chunky mode, not planar like EGA). Two games for this mode were converted directly from PC: Prince of Persia{{Cite web |title=Prince of Persia at Spectrum Computing - Sinclair ZX Spectrum games, software and hardware |url=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36306/ATM/Prince_of_Persia |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=Spectrum Computing |language=en}} and Goblins,{{Cite web |title=Goblins at Spectrum Computing - Sinclair ZX Spectrum games, software and hardware |url=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36305/ATM/Goblins |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=Spectrum Computing |language=en}} and one from Sony PlayStation: Time Gal.{{Cite web |title=Time Gal at Spectrum Computing - Sinclair ZX Spectrum games, software and hardware |url=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36308/ATM/Time_Gal |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=Spectrum Computing |language=en}} Other games that use this mode exist, like Ball Quest, released in August, 2006.{{Cite web |title=Ball Quest at Spectrum Computing - Sinclair ZX Spectrum games, software and hardware |url=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36293/ATM/Ball_Quest |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=Spectrum Computing |language=en}}

Palette:

• {{nowrap|16 colors}} from a 64 color palette (6-bit RGB) can be set for all modes.

Many models exist. Models before version 6.00 are called ATM 1, later models are called ATM 2(2+) or ATM Turbo 2(2+) or simply Turbo 2+. An IDE interface is available since v6.00.JIO0UBH9BY8B9T7GVC6R (the latest model is 7.18{{Cite web |title=ATM-Turbo 1,2(+),3/ZX-Evolution |url=https://atmturbo-nedopc-com.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-EN |website=atmturbo.nedopc.com |language=Russian}}).
