MAŤO
The MAŤO was an 8-bit personal computer developed by Ivan Urda and produced in the former Czechoslovakia by Štátny majetok Závadka nad Hronom in 1989. Prototype was developed as BAPO ("BAbačov POčítač") - "Babač`s Computer", by name of the CEO of this co-opt (so modest :). Their primary goal was to produce a personal computer as cheaply as possible, and therefore it was also sold as a self-assembly kit.
It was basically modified PMD 85, but without backward compatibility (it was compatible only on BASIC programs level). Incompatibility was caused by different tape load/save method and another keyboard layout (fewer keys and new function key CNT - Control), too. This, combined with its late arrival to the market, made the MAŤO a commercial failure.
