It is not a copy of the HP85, only "ideological inspiration pattern". It is therefore not a complete plagiarism, as was otherwise common.

Inherited software:

Notes to create

Roman Kišš's lectures show that the functional prototype of the PMD-85, or at least part of it, including a solution for dynamic RAM and cooperation between CPU and videop, built during Christmas in 1982.

At the exhibition in 1983 in Prague, the PMD-85 was first introduced. This model then appeared at the exhibition in 1984 in Bratislava. According to available information, 220 PMD-85 pieces were produced in 1983, which at that time was considered "the first personal computer in Czechoslovakia produced in larger quantities", as the editor said.
