Pentagon (computer)

The Pentagon (Пентагон) home computer was a clone of the British-made Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128.It was manufactured by amateurs in the former Soviet Union, following freely distributable documentation. Its PCB was copied all over the ex-USSR in 1991-1996, which made it a widespread ZX Spectrum clone.The name "Pentagon" derives from the shape of the original PCB (Pentagon 48), with a diagonal cut in one of the corners. Many simple devices (upgrades) were invented to connect to the Pentagon with a soldering iron.
