Poisk (computer)
Poisk (Russian: Поиск) is an IBM-compatible computer built by KPO Electronmash in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR during the Soviet era. It is based on the K1810VM88 microprocessor, a clone of the Intel 8088.[1] Developed since 1987 and released in 1989, it was the most common IBM-compatible computer in the Soviet Union.[2]
The basic version lacked parallel or serial ports for connecting a printer, mouse or other devices, which could only be connected by purchasing expansion modules.[2] It was not fully IBM compatible, and its performance lagged behind the IBM XT.[2] Poisk entered mass production in 1991, just before the Soviet collapse, and production output in the early 1990s reached several tens of thousands units a year.[2]
