VEB Robotron

VEB Kombinat Robotron (German: [vaʊ eː beː kɔmbɪnaːt ʁobotʁɔn]) (or simply Robotron) was the largest East German electronics manufacturer.

However, the abundance of highly qualified workers promoted the subsequent settlement of various companies in the region.

[2] It was the predominant computer bus architecture of microcomputer-sized systems of East Germany, whose industry relied heavily on the U880 microprocessor, a clone of the Zilog Z80.

Among the large number of boards developed using the standard[3] were CPU modules, RAM modules, graphics cards, magnetic tape controllers and floppy disk controllers.

It was originally intended to be used to connect boards to backplanes, as in the K 1520 [de] modular microcomputer system, A 5120 office computer, A 5130 office computer[4] and the Poly-Play arcade cabinet.
