ScuzzBlog: Diaries October 2017 Entry 10th October 2017: Post: 5 Atom that didn't Bomb 20,000 machines , many in kit form made for a very successful product in truth. Evidently a cut down version of the System 3. It was released in 1980 and in those days sold for £120 in kit form and £170 ready assembled. The base machine had 2KB RAM and 8KB of ROM. The thing that interests me is the BASIC ( Atom BASIC ) which is slightly more odd than your normal BASIC and does take a while to get the hang of. The Assembly code can actually be included within the BASIC program. Some of the functions can be stripped right back making the input very fast. This unit was the property of a very enthusiastic user. The manual is falling to pieces through use. All the code lines have notes where the previous owner corrected I assume mistakes in the written documentation. Included also is a manual on how to assemble an Atom plus a very detailed schematic. I sense this may have been an assembled unit. Still works , albeit , the opening logo seems to be faulty.
