GREAT!
... want sitting in the armchair and think about where it is come from ...
😋

Are some links for manuals?

@pflegende Thank you ❤️ This is the Iskra Delta 4850 system comprising of DEC VAX 11/751, 3x Fujitsu M2284N Fixed Disk Units (168.5 MB each), Fujitsu M2294N Fixed Disk Unit (335.54 MB), Cipher GCR CacheTape M990 Tape Drive, and domestic power supply. The other system is an IBM zSeries mainframe. Also pictured is the Slovenian PAKA terminal and DEC VT320.

It seems that you are getting a good overview of the clones of the Western devices behind the iron curtain. Unfortunately there is little research done on this. A web list of the relevant scientists, actors and “evangelists” would be exciting. We know: hard work and no time.

Hoping to elaborate something around this somewaydays. Also Biology takes away some good guys with a big fundus of memory. So we try hurry up.

@pflegende In fact, these are not clones. Yugoslavia did not belong to the Eastern Bloc nor was it situated behind the Iron Curtain. Yugoslavia held a distinct position in this regard, as it had access to both Western and Eastern hardware. However, it predominantly utilized Western hardware, especially when it was unable to produce its own.

@muzej "clone" ... this was what we understand the sentence in

"Iskra Delta 4850 system comprising of DEC VAX 11/751"

May be Gojko Mitic is the source of misuderstanding "where" yugoslawia was in the complex of the cold war nations postioned or NOT positioned - "not" for it best).

Regardless, our interest in the IT part of COMECON remains unbroken. And we hope that you may still have resources lying dormant there that elsewhere fell victim to the convoys of trucks that transported literature to garbage dumps. In 1990 we stood in Jena next to a truck with a trailer, both loaded with a mountain of film rolls that were being thrown away.
