What is Atomac?

Atomac (pronounced 'At-ommuk') is a fairly rudimentary Acorn Atom Emulator. The Acorn Atom was an early Microcomputer designed by the British company: Acorn in 1979. It has the following features:

• A 1MHz 8-bit 6502 Processor (as used in the Apple II, BBC Micro, C64 and others).
• Up to 6K VRAM and 6K RAM for Basic (1K+1K minimum).
• B/W and 4-colour Graphics at resolutions from 64x48 up to 256x192.
• A very efficient, but rather strange version of Basic (BCPL influenced).
• Floating-point ROM extension.
• A Cassette Interface.

The Atom provided the momentum for Acorn to build the BBC Micro and subsequently, the Archimedes which was powered by the widely and increasingly used ARM embedded processor.
