JAMB (ЯМБ) was an operating system for 8-bit personal computers that VEB Büromaschinenwerk "Ernst Thälmann" Sömmerda developed together with companies from the USSR specifically for the Soviet market.
development
The USSR ordered around 50,000 PC1715s from the mid-1980s and required its own operating system in Russian to make it particularly user-friendly. It should serve as a compatible "bridge" to the ISKRA 555 and NEWA 521 computers .
The office machine plant "Ernst Thälmann" assigned three employees who played a key role in developing the project. The BIOS of the NEWA 521 was ordered for 100,000 rubles in order to achieve good compatibility through a more in-depth analysis. Finally, the kernel of the in-house SCP operating system was incorporated .
Finally, the development of which was ISKRA- and NEVA computer canceled, the customer sat now on the internationally successful CP / M . Thus JAMB did not become widely used and disappeared again.
The Gosbank was one of the known users.
service
The operating system worked entirely in Russian and input was made using K7658 keyboards with Cyrillic writing . Versions in other languages did not exist.
Trivia
