Slu?ovice is a small town (about 3000 citizens) in Czech. Rep. where was (as in many other places) national agricultural company called "Agrokombinát Slu?ovice" or JZD (Jednotne Zemedelske Druzstvo) Slusovice. In '70-'80 it was turned into industrial zone where was developed and manufactured 8bit and later 16bit microcomputers. I can't quickly find some english site, so try to look at bottom of site for "TNS HC?8" computer.

8bit ones was a big Babylon of integrated circuits from diff. countries of RVHP. Like CPU Z80 clones from DDR, dynamic RAM and EPROM from USSR, and 74 logic from our national company TESLA. Tesla also made some microcontrollers like MHB3000, 8035, 8051, 8080A but as I know they didn't get further to x86 clones. 16bit 286 computers was based on foreign snadard AT mainboards. But we had other companies like ZPA (Zavody Prumyslove Automatizace) in city Novy Bor, where they made XT board clones using intel 8088 CPU. Compared to western concurents it looked very robust and overweighted :). And BTW as I readed, some engineers from Slusovice was importing english SW and do translations and also rewrote copyrigts. It was one of few companies who did business with western block.

I still rather use multiple FAT16 volumes for DOS and FAT32 for windows.
