Casio FX-700P vs Elektronika MK-85
A Casio pocket computer (with the BASIC language) and its Soviet clone.
The Elektronika MK-85 was designed to have a look and a human interface near exactly the same as the FX-700P.
However, the FX-700P is a calculator but the MK-85 is a PDP-11 compatible computer (not a PDP-11 clone as the chip design was an original Soviet work).
This, of course, means that the Soviet one is heavier and it used more energy. It is also slower in the basic mode (I don't have tried the "turbo" mode as there is no power adapter available). Anyway the Soviet model has graphical functions and Russiian alphabet output that the original machine don't have.
