Hallo Leute! Ich habe gerade einige epische Bilder von einem der ersten in Lettland hergestellten Computer entdeckt.
Die gesamte darin enthaltene Software wurde von Herrn Janis Čaupals (Mana puiša tēvs) in den Jahren 1979 bis 1981 erstellt, als er bei VEF arbeitete.

VEF would have definetly have overtaken Apple, but CIA didnt allow it.

Awesome stuff, honestly, didnt know about this PC.
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!
Can it run Doom?
