Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | It's actually pretty strange to describe Elektronika-60 as a video game platform, mainly because whatever uses its designers ever envisioned for it, video games most certainly weren't among them. The Big Sixty was essentially a first successful Soviet attempt to finally end the era of Big Iron that was starting to feel a little bit too comfortable in the late sixties. But while it wasn't a mainframe, it still was what it was -- a honking big industrial mini, a clone of Digital's PDP-11/03 that some big honcho in the Ministry of Electronic Production fell in love with. It even shared the /03's awkward sectioned CPU, based on the indigenous 581 chipset -- a clone of the Western Digital's p-system chipset used in Digital's machine. Thus, it was an honest to Earth PDP-11 clone and ran its software pretty well, which basically was the whole point. As such, it was a really popular machine, and many a plant or a lab in Soviet Union had one or more. |
