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 can be accessed in cpc-style standard fashion, ie. like a as on 64K cpc CPC with 128K dk'tronics expandionmemory expansion), '''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).
