Elektronika 60
Template:Short description Template:Expand Russian Template:Infobox information appliance
The Elektronika 60 (Template:Langx) is a computer made in the Soviet Union by Elektronika in Voronezh from 1978 until 1991. It is a rack-mounted system with no built-in display or storage devices. It was usually paired with a 15IE-00-013 terminal and I/O devices. The main logic unit is located on the M2 CPU board. As an unlicensed clone implementation of the DEC PDP-11/23, the Elektronika 60 is generally software-compatible, could use much of the same peripherals, and physically resembles that model.
The original implementation of Tetris was written for the Elektronika 60 by Alexey Pajitnov in 1985.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> As the Elektronika 60 does not have raster graphics, text characters were used to form the blocks.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
