A book on ATM-turbo 2+ has been released!
ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
From Maxim Timonin → To All 9 July 2005
Today I updated my ATM support site - http://atmturbo.narod.ru
Fundamental work on compiling a unified description has been completed the entire architecture
and ATM-turbo 2+ ports. It has everything - a memory manager, screen modes, keyboard controller programming, palette, IDE and much, much more, supplemented with diagrams and examples of working with all this wealth through assembler. In other words, here is “everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask”! In general, download the book (but the book really turned out! About 10-12 years ago it could have been published by the publishing house "Piter" or "Solon")
"TURBO2+. Internal architecture and external devices" from the section "Documents for
CP/M"(http://atmturbo.narod.ru/atmcpm.htm). I look forward to your feedback, questions and
new programs for the rich hardware capabilities of ATM2+ (fortunately its emulsionalready exists)!

If whoever decides to publish a book in the echo (for example, Vlodek) for those who are deprived of the Internet, then I will not mind. The volume of the book is about 2MB. Zipped -
about 450Kb. Count for yourself how many there will be in YuYuK...

Now I went through the text of the book and found several, as well as an error in
the palette programming example. In addition, an entire line was omitted from the table of contents. I fixed everything. I uploaded the fixed version under the same file name to my website. So download again (who has already downloaded) the final
(pah-pah, so as not to jinx it) version. The links are the same.

I continue to re-read my opus for the umpteenth time in order to detect
fatal errors. I caught another one in the memory manager programming example. I corrected it and posted it on the site using the previous link.
For those who hate to download it again, open the text on page 8 and correct the line -
AND %01111000 ;D7=0 - #7FFD switching is enabled.
to the line -
AND %11111000 ;D7=1 - #7FFD switching is enabled.

Can enter the version number for books, since corrections are planned for them,
so that people don’t get confused later whether it’s the same book or not yet corrected -
catching it somewhere else. After all, there is a “such and such edition"?

Well, corrections are coming over the next few weeks. Moreover, they are not planned, but assumed. Because how can you plan for bugs? But to assume that you made a mistake somewhere or entered the wrong number, sitting at the computer in the morning with red eyes, is quite likely. That's what I'm telling you about. This is why the book is made available to the people in advance, so that the catching of all sorts of mistakes will go faster. You can now confidently download this book. I won’t return to it again, the work
on it is finally completed (unless you dig up a really gross
blunder (and it’s a blunder, not a typo in a word)).
