EC 1027
Designed by VÚMS, Zdeněk Korvas et al..It was manufactured from 1985 to 1989 (development 1982-1985) by ZPA Čakovice.
The computer was inspired by or was successor to EC 1026. Operating systems running on the computer: DOS IV,DOS V.

Development Team
Petr Golan, who participated in the development of the EC 1027, stated in a personal development report: "The logical design of the computer was carried out by a group of about 50 people from VÚMS under the ideological leadership of Ing. Zdeněk Korvas, CSc., who was a former graduate student of Antonín Svoboda. Zdeněk Korvas as one one of the few students of Svobod did not emigrate to the West in the 1980s/1970s. This "hardcore" group, which I had the honor of being a part of in the 1980s, then had hundreds of assistants who took care of support activities without which the computer could not It was the issue of component catalog sheets, the automated design and production technology of printed circuit boards (laying out chips, drawing connections on the board), the design and construction of component testers, especially for memories, testers of unmounted and mounted boards, cabling, simulation tools, not to mention about software from board test generators to microdiagnostic and system tests of the whole computer, operating system, translators, database programs, etc. etc. In addition, participation in the development of many peripherals and who knows what else I have forgotten. At that time, the institute had around a thousand employees, and it was a miracle that all those activities were connected to each other and complemented each other. It certainly wouldn't have been possible without people's enthusiasm for the cause (the starting salary of an engineer in the amount of CZK 1,450 certainly could not have been the motivation!). The Svobodov tradition and the experience of key people who were already at the birth of the SAPO, EPOS, MSP, MNP 10 and ŘÍP 1000 computers (Korvas, Černý, Pokorný, Škarda, Fixa, Kučera, Mirtes, etc.) played their role."
