June 10, 2007 at 01:07Soviet laptop "Electronics"
Today I absolutely accidentally came up with the crazy idea: to enter into Google the phrase "Soviet laptop", which was done. I expected to see random hits on the word "Soviet" and a bunch of laptop ads. Imagine my surprise when I saw several links with the text "Electronics 901."
The portable PC "Electronics 901" is a PC-compatible personal computer with a monochrome LCD monitor. On board as standard there was: an i8086 processor with a clock frequency of 4.75 MHz (I personally suspect that it was still the Soviet analogue of K1810BM86), 1 MB of memory, 10 MB of hard disk, and a three-inch drive. The device has been manufactured since 1991, although for that time the i8086 processor, released in 1978, although it was 16-bit, is still a bit old. Only about 1000 pieces were produced, which, in principle, is a lot, given the price of 25,000 rubles. I doubt that after perestroika he was very popular.
Eyewitnesses and computer history experts see it as a suspicious resemblance to the Toshiba 3100.
For comparison, my first Penza Spectrum "Symbol" had a processor with a frequency of 3.5 MHz and 64 KB of memory and with the same "mobility" had such a price that everyone could afford it.
I’m not so old yet :), but my childhood and school years left unforgettable minutes of communication with Agat-9 (a Soviet apple-compatible computer), Electronics of the URC, Spectrum, Yamaha ... Strongly detailed information about this unique product was not found. Maybe there are people here who worked with this machine? Or maybe someone even has it?
