@intel386DX Poland build its own K-202 that was faster that was faster and cheaper than 16 bit x86 IBM PC that came after him... Soviets killed K-202 for being Polish and West for being from behind iron curtain. Inventor of K-202 was so anoyed with communists that he left institute and started pig farm... there was video on yt from that time with interview and he said when asker why he left his work as computer designer "This pigs are nicer to work with".🤣

@SianaGearz Ekhm, Polish K-202 was 16 bit personal PC size computer from 1971... Apple 2 8 bit from 1977... Soviets were very unhappy with Polish K-202 and did not even wanted to see it when they were offered a chance... 1 MHz MOS 6502(like first Apple 2 ) could be estimated at 25 kFLOPS/ The original IBM PC XT ran an 8088 at 4.77MHz, delivering about 0.2 MIPS -> IBM Personal Computer from March 8, 1983 Polish K-202 could conduct a million operations per second...

Polish 16 bit K-202 was doing 1 million operations per second -> IBM XT from 1983 was doing 0.2MIPS and was more expensive than K-202. Soviets killed Polish K-202 for not being compatible with soviet computers aka for being Polish from a guy that stufied in US and on top of it he was part of Polish resistance during WW2. West did not wanted it for being from behind the iron curtain...

@-kr8206 They were buying stuff from you and selling raw materials. fuel in exchange... I never heard about Bulfarian electronics in Poland but on the other hand Elka is Polish form of the name Elizabeth. Soviets killed Polish K-202 computer because it was not compatible with their systems(or more likely because it was not Soviet) it was faster and cheaper than IBM-> and the best part is that after Soviets/communists killed it they switched to IBM machines... and inventor of K-202 computer switched to pig farm and i saw on YT interview from that time with him, he said in it that "this pigs are nicer to work with".😂
