Unraveling the Enigma of a Soviet-Era Computer.
A Robotron CM1910, a Soviet-era computer built in East Germany, has been discovered to have a non-standard design with densely-packed circuit boards and wiring, a massive weight of 25 kg, and hidden peripheral and drive controllers in questionable locations. Although it includes an Intel 8086 processor, it would take a massive effort to get the machine up and running again due to its non-standard construction, and might require help from builds like this to replace or emulate some of the hardware.
