The Atari ST, STe, and Falcon were iconic computers of the 1980s and 1990s, beloved by gamers and creatives alike.

These 16-bit and 32-bit Atari systems were powered by Motorola's legendary 68K CPU family, combined with Atari’s own Shifter graphics chipset and Yamaha sound chips, delivering impressive visuals and audio for their time.
|
The Apollo V4 System carries the legacy of the Motorola 68K family into the future by incorporating the Apollo 68080 CPU, the most powerful and advanced member of this iconic series.
|
Additionally, the V4 supports the 680x0 68881/82 co-processors. Notably, the 68080 FPU is fully pipelined, delivering performance that exceeds that of the Motorola 68881/82 FPU by an impressive factor of x 100 times.
Furthermore, the system maintains compatibility with earlier 68K CPUs and supports all instructions for the 68000, 68010, 68020, 68030, 68040, and 68060, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
But it doesn’t stop there—the Apollo V4 System also features the Super-AGA chipset, which is fully compatible with both Amiga and Atari ST platforms.

|
The Super-AGA chipset includes classic Atari ST components such as the Shifter graphics chip, the Yamaha audio chip YM2149, and MFP timer chips, ensuring seamless compatibility with Atari software.
This allows you to run EmuTOS, the modern Atari OS, as well as many original Atari ST games, including titles designed for the Atari STe and Atari Falcon.
Even better, the Super-AGA chipset supports enhanced color modes, bringing the Atari STe’s extended palette and the Atari Falcon’s 256-color and true-color screen modes to life.
