The advent of large-scale integrated circuits, micropro­cessors, and large-capacity semiconductor memories have made pos­sible powerful computer systems, cutting their cost, dimensions, and power consumption. In order for automation to be introduced throughout the economy, a common engineering base is essential. The CMEA countries, there­ fore, have started mass production of a Unified System of Com­ puters, the Cyrilic ES EVM title yielding the abbreviation which we shall now use. The six base models differ in their specifications (speed, main storage capacity, etc.) and some 140 different peripherals are avail­ able. These peripherals substantially enhance the abilities of the ES EVM computers without affecting their software compatibility. The ES EVM computer system has become a vital tool f
