Engineering:Vuk (computer)

From HandWiki

Vuk (pronounced [ʋûːk]) is a computer prototype designed by a group of students from Leskovac in SFRY (now Serbia). It was supposed to be a multipurpose educational computer. The development started in 1984 and in 1988 about ten prototypes were produced. Although the design received awards,[1] the Yugoslav industry was not interested, so the computer never reached the production phase.
