256 to 640 KB of RAM depending on the version
This is a PC XT compatible clone. It is fitted with either 2 x 5.25" drives of 360 KB or one 5.25" drive and HDD. The hard drive was mainly a Seagate ST 225 (20MB) or other Western production, including the controller. RAM: first version 256 KB, later versions standard 640 KB. The individual cards contained integrated circuits produced by RVHP, some circuits were also of Western origin, in short, what could be found. The bus was atypical, a reduction was needed for regular XT cards. For later produced pieces, there were already 3 classic XT slots on the board. The pulse source was located under the mechanics. The front panel was made of plastic in several versions. Metal crate. A robust fan with an aluminum propeller (sometimes with a plastic one), there was an interference suppressor in front of the source. Several monitors were used, both with video input and classic CGA - control is provided by the display controller MC6B45 (or the Bulgarian CM607P from the Botevgrad factory).
