Old talk[edit]

Translation of a paragraph from [Russian Indymedia]:

"...the apartment at the historical address Ligovsky prospect, 60, the very same apartment where in 1900 A.I.Lenin /* that's a misprint - should've been V.I.Lenin! */ with a group of Russian Social-Democrats decided to print the revolutionary newspaper "Iskra" (there is a corresponding memorial sign posted on the wall of the house)."

You forget one thing[edit]

Iskra is a Soviet IBM-XT clone...oh probably it fades beside this big history. Gnomz007 06:18, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck are you talking about?? Iskra was a newspaper, not a computer. KNewman 13:05, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

ok... it seems there are more iskras out there -> e.g. PZL TS-11 Iskra... it seems it's time for a disambig... - Blueshade 13:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, created Iskra (disambiguation). BTW, Iskra was indeed a well-known Soviet computer. --Anthony Ivanoff 20:23, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gnomz: as somebody who worked with Iskra-226 a lot, let me tell you it was in no way an XT clone. However, there were a lot of computers branded "Iskra", and some might have been IBM-compatible clones indeed. Haven't worked with these, though...

ISKRA 226 was made after WANG 2200 in 1981. ISKRA 1130 was an XT clone, was available in 1990 - 1991. The 226 was well known and used broadly; the 1130 were few. Worked with the 226 for several years, it was a good personal computer for the pre- IBM PC time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:F470:14:3:E85D:2720:2A67:CACF (talk) 18:13, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
