CP/M and MS-D S Compatibility For All
Atari Computers

"A fine CP/M machine t h e ATR8000 closes the gap that has separated Atari
owners from the rest of the software market."
—Byte Magazine
Add MS-DOS compatibility too!
An Atari that runs MS-DOS, IBM-PC software?
By adding CO-POWER-88, our own 8088 co-procesor to your ATR8000, you
can also run most of the popular MS-DOS, IBM-PC software.
CP/M compatability for your Atari — only from SWP.
Now you can run CP/M programs on your Atari 400, 800, 1200 and XL series
computers.
The ATR8000 from SWP Microcomputer Products is a 4MHz, 1 ok RAM com-
plete Atari interface. When you add the optional 64k RAM, the ATR8000 will
run CP/MI
The CO-POWER-88 is a 16 bit, 5.33 MHz, 8088 co-processor with I28k or
256k RAM. I t comes complete with MS-DOS and RAM disk software. CP/M-86
is available as an option.
More than just a co-processor, its RAM can also be used as a high speed
simulated disk drive for CP/M.
Installation is simple. Your CO-POWER-88 comes with the Z-80 adaptor board
and main processor board. You'll also receive a complete owner's manual and
easy-to-follow instructions.
CP/M and MS-DOS, IBM-PC compatibility for your Atari can now be yours.
Contact your local SWP dealer or order direct by mail. Better yet, for fastest
delivery, use your credit card and shop by phone.
