Oh my, I had my heart jump when I saw that calculator. I had one. It was my first personal programmable device. It finally allowed me to program at home, without having to borrow computer time somewhere else. It was all mine! Yeah, we were poor. But gosh I can remember some happy moments. You had 104 bytes of RAM for code and 16 registers, IIRC. I wrote several games for it and experimentet endlessly. Remembered a few of the opcodes by heart. Stopped using it when the EEPROM started giving up. And then I got my first ZX Spectrum! BTW, "МК" meant "microcalculator".

I had one of those in boot camp in 1981. I loved lying in my bunk and listen to Pink Floyd The Wall. Good stuff!
