PMD 85
The PMD 85 was an 8-bit personal computer produced from 1985 by the companies Tesla Piešťany and Tesla Bratislava in the former Czechoslovakia.
They were deployed "en masse" in schools throughout Slovakia, while the IQ 151 performed a similar role in Czech part of the country. On the PMD 85 were created the first Czechoslovak video games, other platforms were ZX Spectrum and Atari.
This computer was produced locally due to a lack of foreign currency with which to buy systems from the West. After the Velvet
Revolution in 1989, production of the PMD 85 was stopped. PMD 85 was not competitive in quality or features compared to foreign PCs available at that time.
