    Uno dei primi PC in Lettonia

    Ciao ragazzi! Ho appena scoperto alcune immagini epiche di uno dei primi computer creati in Lettonia.

    Tutti i software all’interno sono stati creati dal signor Janis Čaupals (Mana puiša tēvs) durante gli anni 1979 – 1981, mentre lavorava alla VEF.

      Yeah, saw this one in VEF kultūras pils – it’s exposed there, anyone can go and check it out, albeit it’s not turned on. I actually got curious now by seeing these pics, what are the specs, here’s some detailed info in russian I found: [https://www.phantom.sannata.org/viewtopic.php?t=21993](https://www.phantom.sannata.org/viewtopic.php?t=21993)

      Looks like it has IPM-80A (a [Z80A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z80) clone) CPU and 64KB of RAM.

      It would be interesting to find out more about the OS it was running – looks like something called RV-VEF (РВ-ВЭФ).

      Fun fact – kā jau tas bija pierasts ar lielo vairumu Padomju laika “izgudrojumu”, arī šis bija lielākoties kopija, kas tika radīta pēc spiegu nospertajiem Amerikāņu rasējumiem. Šo datoru darbināja tolaik populārā 8080 Z80A procesora Padomju klons – ~~K580VK (ceru, ka atceros nosaukumu pareizi)~~ K580NK.

      Vismaz prieks dzirdēt, ka softu rakstīja mūsu tautietis!
