> Until today I haven't found any significant difference between what I had back then and what similar age IBM-PC was in terms of hardware.

On the other side of the curtain we had SVGA instead of EGA. And 486 or (barely) Pentium instead of pre 386. Probably more RAM. Probably a bigger harddisk. Probably printer or modem or both. Maybe a sound card. And CD-ROM.




These computers were manufactured in mid to late 80's, so most of them predate both 486 and CD-ROM.


>It was bought for me by my father around 1994


Yeah back then my Pravetz was already 6 years ( manufactured around '88 [1] ) old and still very popular. I didn't have CD-ROM until I got my first 486DX4 custom case computer.

Precisely. And I listed what many of us on the other side had in '94.

I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravetz_computers as my source of information about Pravetz since I don't speak Bulgarian or Russian.
