The first device was a homemade computer, created in 1985 by employees of the Moscow State University for their purposes (physics experiments). The first description was made in the magazine \u00abMicroprocessor tools and systems\u00bb.[1] The PC was named “\u041f\u041a 8001” (21.08.1985).Graphics[edit]This computer had advanced graphic capabilities for its time. It has only one video mode which uses 4 planes: 3 graphic and 1 text.  The graphic planes have 512×256 resolution.  The text plane is capable to show 32×16 or 64×16 text using two sets of 256 ROM 8×16 characters for both modes.  It possible to show 16 colors on screen.  8 colors are free and 8 additional colors can be used combining text symbols and pixels. Any logical color may be any physical color from 0 to 15 (RGBI).  The graphic video RAM size is 192 KB (4 pages) or 48 KB (1 page).  The text video RAM size is 1 KB which is 9-bit static RAM.  There is no contention for access to video and processor RAM.  The Corvette has a way to accelerate filling an area with a given color.  It could be faster than the IBM PC AT with the EGA card for this task.The Intel 8253 is used to generate sound.Software[edit]BASIC interpreter in ROM, fully compliant with the MSX standard, including all graphic commands (drawing points, lines, rectangles, filled rectangles, circles, ellipses, arcs, closed area filling, DRAW), working with integers, etc.Operation systems MicroDOS (\u041c\u0438\u043a\u0440\u043e\u0414\u041e\u0421) and CP\/M-80 (with floppy disk driver)Text editor \u00ab\u0421\u0443\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0442\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0442\u00bb, \u00ab\u041c\u0438\u043a\u0440\u043e\u043c\u0438\u0440\u00bb (MIM), etc.DBMS dBase IISpreadsheet Microsoft MultiplanCompilers for Fortran, Pascal, C, Ada, Forth, Lisp, PL\/M, etc.Software for educationGames\u00a0(\u00abBerkut\u00bb, PopCorn, Stalker, Dan Dare, Continental Circus, Deflector, \u00abTreasure\u00bb, \u00abWinnie the Pooh\u00bb, \u00abTreasure Island\u00bb, Super Tetris, Karate, etc.)Educational computer technology complex[edit]“\u041d\u0418\u0418\u0421\u0447\u0451\u0442\u043c\u0430\u0448” created an educational computer technology complex based on “Corvette”[2]It includes a teacher’s computer (\u041f\u041a8020, with FDD , a printer port) and about 15 computers for students (\u041f\u041a8010), connected to the local network (19,5 kbit\/s).Variants[edit]It has been mass-produced since 1987 year at the plants of the Ministry of Radio Technology (Soviet Union):[3]PlaceNameDescriptionBaku Production Association “Radio Engineering”PC 8010\/8020 \u00abCorvette\u00bbThe original scheme without modifications.

In addition, there was a competition with another computer of the same purpose.: UKNC. As a result, deliveries of the new computer were far behind the plan.:[6][8][9]YearPlanFact1987100001157198836000?198984000369001990120000?1992250000?After the collapse of the USSR, the production of Corvettes stopped, and incomplete cases were used to assemble numerous ZX Spectrum clones. “LINTech” (“Laboratory of Information Technologies”) carried out the modernization of the “Corvette” – the network was modernized and an IBM PC-compatible computer was installed as the head machine.Network speed increased from 19.5 kilobits \/ sec to 375 kilobits \/ sec.This revision was recommended by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation for use in schools.[10]References[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/corvette-computer-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Corvette (computer) – Wikipedia"}}]}]
