Dubna 48K

According to the manual, this computer was intended for: • studying the principles of PC operation • various kinds of calculations • "intellectual games" The Dubna 48K had only a built-in BASIC interpreter, and loaded its programs from a cassette recorder, so it couldn't run any of the modern operating systems. However, the Dubna 48K and many other Z80 clones, though outdated by that time, were introduced in high schools of the Soviet Union. Many of the games for the Z80-based machine were ported from games already available for Nintendo's 8-bit game console, marketed in Russia under the brand Dendy. The machine comes in two versions: in a metal case for the initial 1991 model, and in a plastic case for the 1992 model. ==Included items==
