The appearance of analogues of Intel chips in the USSR (microprocessor set of the K580 series) led to the possibility of developing a variety of microprocessor-controlled technical devices. In the period from 1985 to 1995, on the territory of the former USSR, in many areas of activity, computing tools based on low-capacity processors began to be used. In 1986, the magazine "Radio" published a diagram of the computer "Radio 86RK".
The scheme included 29 microcircuits available in the USSR. The ability to connect external devices was incorporated into the computer circuit, and with a simple upgrade it could be used as a working tool for a radio amateur and as a regular computer in everyday life (games, etc.). Later, serial production of a computer under the Mikrosha brand was launched. The computer was built on the basis of a classical modular architecture with a main way of organizing the interaction of modules.

Between 1983 and 1985 educational microprocessor kits (UMK) were developed and widely began to be produced. The development of the UMK was carried out in parallel by employees of the Institute of Electronic Technology (Moscow, Russia) and employees of the Department of Automation of Technological Processes of the VEF Production Association (Riga, Latvia). It was these computing tools that served as the basis for the transition to a qualitatively new level of education in the field of computer technology in industry.
The development, made on the basis of the VEF production association, was called UMK. The complex had a circuit implementation similar to UMPC-80, but was delivered as a finished product placed in a case. The kit included one breadboard with a parallel interface chip KR580VV55 installed on it.

The structure of the UMK computer includes a microprocessor, address, data and control bus drivers, a step-by-step instruction execution circuit, a control signal circuit, a ROM system read-only memory, a RAM random access memory, and two large parallel I/O integrated circuits." - https://lnkd.in/eNDu-gW2
