Ei Pecom 64 - Early Yugoslavian 8-bit Micro (Home Computer)

This is something peculiar. A good friend of mine obtained an original early Yugoslavian (Serbian) 8-bit micro computer. I received it the other day.

I disconnected DVD player and connected AV cable to MON and TON outputs. Switched it one and to my surprise got familiar READY prompt.

Tried the simplest ("first") BASIC program. Few keys were not working from the beginning, but after just little bit typing all keys seemed operational. The thing was just forgotten for a long time.


As much as unimpressive my programming skills are here I am extremely happy to see this thing working. This is one of these early micros I only saw on some local computer fairs. Not sure how many were built, but definitively nothing like ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64.

If I get some time, will make some more pictures and peek inside.

I ja sam skoro nabavio jedan Ei PECOM 64. Izgleda da je neispravan, ali pošto sam inženjer potrudiću se da ga popravim ;)
