The SX212 modem was one of the rare Atari peripherals that could be used with all the Atari computers range, from the 400/800 series up to the Falcon. It had both the Atari I/O ports for the 8-bit systems and a standard RS-232 connector for ST's
|
||
|
||
It was a 300/1200 baud modem compatible with the well-known Hayes 'AT' commands.\
|
||
Cable and software was sold separately, depending of the computer used.

|

The SLM-804 was actually a Kyocera F1000 printer but without neither on-board processor and memory nor buttons other than the on/off switch. It was first delivered with the Mega ST but could be connected on all of the ST series computers through a dedicated interface box.\
|
||
The printer used the processing power and the RAM memory of the ST computer for printing at 8 pages per minute and 300 DPI. The paper tray held 250 sheets.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to **Francois Michaud** who donated us this printer.

The Atari TT was a kind of a super [Atari STe](/museum/atari-520-1040-ste/). As the other Atari computers, it was very long awaited. It was presented as a competitor of the [Macintosh](/museum/apple-macintosh/) and was one of the first to offer a huge graphic resolution (1280 x 960).
|
||
|
||
The first TTs had a 16Mhz CPU. A small daugther card was supplied later to use a 32 MHz CPU, then all the TTs were shipped with a 32 MHz CPU.
|
||
|
||
It had a lot of extension connectors (like VME, VGA or SCSI) to allow it to be connected to a lot of standard peripherals.
|
||
|
||
It had also several features of the [Atari STe](/museum/atari-520-1040-ste/), like the sound system, but contrary to this one, it didn't have its enhanced video features (fine scrolling) and its Blitter (custom chip designed to move bitmap blocks).
|
||
|
||
It had, like the [Amiga computers](/museum/commodore-amiga-1000/), a special memory organisation : 4 MB, expandable to 12 MB (called ST RAM) was used for coprocessors (video, sound, ASCI) and the rest (called TT RAM which can be located on the motherboard or on a VME card) was used only for 68030 processor and wasn't slowed by peripherals accesses. Both SCSI and serial could do DMA transfers directly to TT-RAM.
|
||
|
||
A special version of the TT was designed to be a UNIX station, called TT/X it was supplied with UNIX System V R4 and WISH (an extension of OSF Motif).
|
||
|
||
However the TT and the TT/X had no success and there was no (or so few) software especially designed for this computer. Notice that a Macintosh emulator (called Spectre GCR - done by Dave Small-) turned the Atari TT into a very fast Macintosh clone : Macintosh software could be used on the TT, and often they ran faster than on the original Mac!)
