Here you need to clarify - ATM-2 and Turbo2 are different computers. ATM-2 was developed/manufactured by ATM. It does not have a HDD controller or a serial port. After the developers left this company (the latest 'general' version is 6.15, there is no more information about ATM). - ATM-2 - it was equipped with a bootable operating system MSX-DOS (instead of CP/M, as in previous versions of ATM), and Turbo2 and Turbo2+ with CP/M are the most sophisticated spec-compatible computers.
Main advantages - 1 MB of memory, memory manager, controller HDD for IDE screw,
serial port and PC keyboard on a single chip.
A short description of Turbo2 has already been thrown here (thanks, by the way ;)
There are original sources for Turbo2 - there is a HDD driver.

Sincerely, Konstantin.
ps: here I was going to solder the HDD controller - I’ll experiment ;)
