the Mato (Mat'o) was actually not made by Tesla, but by **Statny majetok Zavadka**. It was a clone of the [PMD-85](/museum/tesla-pmd-85/) with some modifications (something between PMD85-1 and PMD85-2).
|
|
|
|
It had different adressing modes, three user modes (calculator, program and graphics), different load/save method (programs could be read form tape via special software) and changed keyboard layout (fewer keys and special CONT, Shift and STOP).
|
|
|
|
Two version were sold, one with built-in debbuger and BASIC, second with three built-in games; they came either fully assembled or as a build-it-yourself kit.

Thanks to **Vladimir Kopacek** from Czech Republic for information and picture.

**Ivan Urda**, the designer of the Mato, says:\
|
|
I designed this computer in 3 month and rewrited the OS and BASIC-G at home, because I conflicted with my "bolshevik director".\
|
|
I made that beside my main job - computer controled washing machines - in *Electronics Institute of Strojsmalt Pohorela*, which was located in my home city, Banska Bystrica.\
|
|
As a matter of interest, the first prototype was first named "BAPO" from "BAbacov POocitac", then "Babac computer" - "Babac" was name of my director...). Fortunately, for serial production they changed the name into MATO.\
|
|
The MATO was designed as single board computer, full compatible with the PMD-85 (only data record protocol was different). The first prototype saw the light in July 1988. First 50 pieces were made in February 1989 and serial production began in August 1989.\
|
|
More than 5500 pieces were made in the *Statny Majetok Zavadka* factory. The production finished in 1992.
