DVK-3, the MOST CHERNOBYL COMPUTER EVER.

Greetings from Ukraine! DVK-3M is a Soviet DEC PDP-11 compatible computer that is one of the most Chernobyl computers ever – back in the 80-s they were used in the core research of the nuclear disaster territory. This one was never used due to a factory malfunction, was stored in the warehouse for three decades, and came to us just a bit dusty. This is the first step in its restoration – so for now let's look closer at this fantastic piece of historical hardware!
