Overview

Alone the Electronika 60 is a rack-mounted computer 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.

M2 CPU Technical Characteristics:

  • LSI-11 (PDP-11 LSI CPU implementation) clone
  • Word length: 16 bits
  • Address space: 32K words (64 KB)
  • RAM size: 4K words (8 KB)
  • Number of instructions: 81
  • Performance: 250,000 operations per second
  • Floating-point capacity: 32 bits
  • Number of VLSI chips: 5
  • Board dimensions: 240 × 280 mm

The original implementation of Tetris was written for the Electronika 60 by Alexey Pajitnov. As the Electronika 60 has no graphics capability, text was used to form the blocks.[1]

gollark: Speaking of Minecraft, does anyone know of decent software providing a nice web interface for managing a modded server? I have a nontechnical friend who wants to run a server on my, er, server.
gollark: Yes. Yes it does.
gollark: I use Android, so I can use *Termux* on my phone, which is a nice local terminal thing which can also use SSH. Very convenient. Occasionally.
gollark: There might be software which just encrypts files and filenames/some metadata but keeps other stuff intact, or splits it up into several pieces, but leaking metadata would partly defeat the point.
gollark: The problem is more that *most* ways of encrypting stuff would just leave a giant binary archive or something which needs copying over in full on any update.
