Wow! That sounds all kinds of neat -- any chance you have a line on more
than one of these? I'd love to add a "computer-in-a-keyboard" PDP-11 to the
collection!

Subject: Soviet BK-0010
I recently posted about the Soviet BK-0010 computer.
I've since found out a bit more information about it. I'm reliably
told
that it has an actual PDP-11 processor inside it - and I naturally
assumed
it was a PDP-11 clone. Its not. In fact, it is a
computer-in-a-keyboard,
somewhat akin to the Commodore 64. The whole thing weighs 2kg or
thereabouts. It's a simple home computer. There are two versions -
a
membrane keyboard (with brightly coloured keys!) and a "normal"
keyboard
one. More information as it becomes available.
And here I was, expecting to have to arrange shipping for something
the size
of a fridge!
I'm trying to arrange pictures - I may extend my site to include
Soviet
Microcomputers, too :) But that would be "MOSMOW" and it doesn't
have the
same catchy ring to it. I need a new acronym!
