Poisk (computer)

Poisk is an IBM-compatible computer built by KPO Electronmash in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR during the Soviet era. It is based on the K1810VM88 microprocessor, a clone of the Intel 8088. Developed since 1987 and released in 1989, it was the most common IBM-compatible computer in the Soviet Union.

Technical details
Poisk The Poisk was made as cheap as possible, being a monoblock with a motherboard and keyboard and an external power supply. The machine came with a KM1810VM88 processor. The CPU speed was 5.0 MHz and the machine came with 128 KB (models 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03 and 1.05) or 512 KB of RAM (models 1.04 and 1.06), a CGA compatible video adapter and four expansion slots. A monitor and tape recorder could be connected directly to the computer. Poisk-2 Poisk-2 was compatible with the PC/XT architecture on software and hardware level. The machine came with a KR1810VM86M processor with the possibility of adding a K1810VM87B coprocessor. The CPU speed was 8 MHz and the machine came with 640 KB of RAM (expandable to 2048 KB), an Hercules and Extended CGA video adapter, hard and floppy disk controller based on i82064 and i8272 chips and COM and printer ports. Poisk-3 Poisk-3 reduced manufacturing costs due to the use of high-integration microcircuits instead of discrete logic. It was produced in small batches in the early 1990s. The machine came with a K1810VM86M processor with the possibility of adding a K1810VM87B coprocessor, or with a Intel 8086-2. The CPU speed was 8 MHz and the machine came with 640 KB of RAM, an EGA video adapter and an IDE HDD controller. == Emulation ==
