Ep.8. When a MODEM is made in the Soviet Union, you get this. Computers of Chernobyl.

We got one of the rarest pieces of USSR computer hardware – a 600/19200 BI-01 modem. It could be used to build networks with different Soviet computers, such as ES-1841 we had a few episodes about. This device is itself pretty interesting. Especially given that what we found inside was a bit surprising :) Join us on Patreon for more: Our posters and other merch: What you will find in this episode: 00:00: Introduction 01:09: A word about ES mainframes 02:12: Posters per your request 03:15: A first look 03:44: Modifications ans specs 04:37: My lonely red phone 05:21: Connectors and controls 07:34: Let’s look inside 07:54: Oh my god... 08:40: A closer look to the logic board 09:30: Looks like a military stuff 10:00: A crate 10:21: A restoration will be extreme 11:03: Powering on and trying to test it 13:20: Future plans and outro
