Thank you!

Ah yes, I recently learned about Galaksija, it’s fascinating!

Cool, which SoC?

Soviets did a lot to harm Eastern Block tech. Bulgarian Pravetz was a clone of Apple ][. Nothing impressive but cheap, functional, domestically produced. Can’t really be exported towards west due to blatant IP violations, but the production capabilities were good enough to produce and export hard drives.

Except the trade deal with Britain was blocked by Soviets because it was seen as a security threat, and an industry died in its infancy.

Ooh that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

It’s been a while but IIRC you can choose China or EU warehouse. EU has less variety and higher prices but it’s often worth it.

Generic components from Mouser, Digikey, Farnell. Hobby specific modules from specialist shops like Tinytronics, Botland, Antratek, Gotronik.
