Chapter 700: Clone

The Toshiba T1100, paired with an Intel8086 processor of less than 1MHz, is equipped with a 9-inch monochrome display and is equipped with an MS-DOS operating system. The size www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion is 12x2x11 inches, and the weight of the whole machine is 2.9 kg. Featuring a clamshell design, it offers a full-size 82-key keyboard, a 3.5-inch 720KB hard drive, 512KB of RAM, and a built-in modem.

In fact, the 8086 processor came out in 78 years and is the originator of the x86 architecture, and just this year, Intel has launched the 80286, containing 134,000 transistors and a clock frequency of up to 20MHz!

However, this chip is now only on the US market, and has not yet reached the Western European market, let alone in the island country! The island nation can still use the most common 8086 processor, which is used to make various personal computers.

Toshiba, as a veteran manufacturer of electronic equipment, soon developed a series of personal computers based on the 8086 processor, and at the same time, it is also trying to make the personal computer small and become a notebook computer, this T1100 is an epoch-making attempt!

And this ms1504 is not produced by Toshiba, but from the Soviet electronics manufacturer Элektpohnka, at the same time, this computer is not equipped with an 8086 processor, but the Soviet Union's own domestic processor kp1831bm86.

The appearance of this processor made the Americans very annoyed, and Intel even took the lawsuit to the United Nations court, suing the Soviet electronics manufacturer for infringement.

Because, this processor can be said to be a copy of 8086, and even the outer package is exactly the same! Intel was indignant at this behavior of the Soviets.

It's a pity that the lawsuit has no ending, even if it is tried in absentia by the court, the Soviet electronics manufacturers are still producing this kind of CPU, so the final result is that the Soviet Union's personal computers cannot be sold in Western Europe, which has almost no impact on the Soviet Union, and the current production capacity limits, these personal computers are sold in their own countries, and they don't need to be sold to the world at all, and the market of the Warsaw Pact countries is enough.

As for opening the Western market, you can rely on the island country, the T1100 produced by the island country is still equipped with the original CPU of the Americans, and there is no restriction. Moreover, when the T1100 was released, it was really popular in the global market, although the price in the West was as high as 22,000 US dollars, it was often out of stock!

In fact, not only 8086, the Soviet Union has bought 80286 chips from the American market, and domestic manufacturers have been eager to try and imitate the CPU of this more advanced personal computer.

The Western world was outraged, and for this reason, the British also invented a very expressive technical term "clone" to describe this behavior of woolly bears. Although the vocabulary has a derogatory connotation, the woolly bear still consciously accepts it.

It doesn't matter what it's called outside, in short, the advanced science and technology of the Western world is here! Of course, the Soviets are not just clones, and the development of their own processors on the basis of advanced processors in the West is also a top priority.

However, there are still some differences between personal computers and game consoles, and no matter how optimistic Andre is, it is impossible to write a Super Mario game on this computer.

However, the current Andrei is not a deception, if he wants to free little Ivan from the shackles of the game console, he needs a new temptation, and this temptation of the electronic computer is the best.

"Uncle Andre, how do you do this?" Little Ivan really became interested in the computer and asked Andrei.

"I've bought you a few books, and when you come back every day, you just need to read these books, and you should be proficient." Andrei said.

At little Ivan's age, it is simply impossible to let him program and make up a game, but as long as his interest is transferred, he will no longer be addicted to video games, and now, Andrei even bought books on the basic operation of personal computers for little Ivan, just for him to teach himself, completely involving his energy.

"Thank you, Uncle Andrei." Ivan said: "However, there are many words in it, which I don't know yet." ”

It is very difficult to expect a little kid who has just entered elementary school to read computer books by himself, and Andre showed a smile: "I don't know, you can look up the dictionary." ”

"What about Ivan? I heard that Ivan didn't go to school these days and went to the game hall? Just then, a stern voice came from outside.

Outside, it was the helmsman of the great ship of the Soviets, and at home, Andropov, who was also a competent parent, had not returned for several days, and today, having heard about it, finally took the time to return, and as soon as he returned, he came to Ivan.

"Grandpa, I've realized my mistake, and I'll never go to the arcade again." Ivan said to Andropov, who walked in: "I promise you, if I still go to the arcade, then you will break my legs!" ”

Little Ivan spoke childishly, but his voice was unusually firm, and he could hear that the wrinkles on Andropov's tensed face were trembling, and he could laugh at any moment.

At the same time, looking at Andrei on the side, looking at the computer on the table, Andropov seemed to know something.

"Grandpa, I'm not interested in those games anymore, I'm going to study hard, use this laptop, write my own games, and when the time comes, I can win if I want!"

"Okay, if you can use this computer to write a game, I will call on the young people of the whole country to learn from you, just like Shuya and Zhuola, so that the Young Pioneers of the whole country will know about you." Andropov said.

"Great, grandpa, I'm going to be a little hero too!" Little Ivan said, ran to Andropov's side, jumped up, kissed Andropov on the cheek.

"Then you study first, Andrei, let's go out." Andropov greeted Andrei as if he were his own family.

Andrei followed Andropov out and went to another room.

"Uncle Yuri, you should pay more attention to rest, you are at the helm of the state society that concerns our Soviets." Sitting down, Andrei said to Andropov.

"Alas, if it weren't for the sake of continuing to maintain the current policy and line, I really wanted to retire, the lifelong system of leading cadres is wrong, and I should have taken the lead in setting an example." Andropov said: "By the way, let's not talk about this, let's talk about it as if we were a family today." (To be continued.) )
