The '''Aleste 520EX''' is a [[Clones|clone]] of the Amstrad CPC 6128 developed 1993 Patisonic in Omsk (Siberia). The Aleste is quite rare. The only existing photos are from http://aleste520.narod.ru]. According to Patisonic themselves, they ''"produced several dozens of the model, some of them was in 'kit' form"''.
Additionally to the standard CPC6128 features, it includes a number of additional features: Optional '''64-color''' palette, '''double color depth''' (eg. 16 color at high 320x200 resolution), battery-backed '''Real Time Clock'''chip, '''512Kbyte RAM''' (of which, only 192K are accessed in cpc-style standard fashion, ie. like a 64K cpc with 128K dk'tronics expandion), '''8bit printer''' port, expanded keyboard matrix with '''10 additional keys''', extended Expansion Port (with additional pins for '''DMA support''').
The computer works with Amstrad [[CP/M]] and MSXDOS as well (note: MSXDOS is a CP/M clone, which uses a FAT filesystem, as used on MSX and MS-DOS computers, instead of the normal CP/M filesystem).
