Lola 8
Lola 8 is a computer developed by Ivo Lola Ribar Institute of SR Serbia in 1982 and announced for release in 1985. As the manufacturer's focus was CNC equipment, Lola 8 was built out of components they used for CNC machines.
Originally likely designed as the industrial controller, the computer initially had a keyboard completely orthogonally laid out rectangular key caps. This was possibly done as a result of using standard CNC keyboard components that need to minimize the entry of environmental dirt into the system. Later designs (model "8A") used standard keyboard arrangement and were available in a number of schools as educational computers.

gollark: Doesn't the US already have some law in the pipeline which would basically make providing Bitcoiny services illegal/impossible?
gollark: Consequentialist-ly speaking, since it appears that political trends are moving in the *opposite* direction from not abusing this kind of technology, there may not be a better way.
gollark: This seems like one of those... noncentral things, where it's possibly technically accurate but brings inaccurate connotations from the words.
gollark: Transistor density is apparently still going up, but the nice things gotten with that aren't so much.
gollark: Wouldn't the semiconductor companies really want to avoid having lots of expensive equipment idling in 2023?
