From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galeb (en. Seagull) was ab 8-bit computer developed by PEL Varaždin. A grand total of 250 were produced by the end of the summer of 1984, before being replaced by Orao.

Orao was designed by Miroslav Kocijan and inspired by Compukit UK 101, Ohio Scientific Superboard and Superboard II computers that appeared in UK and USA in 1979 and were less expensive than Apple II, Commodore PET and/or TRS-80. Code named YU101 was chosen to resemble Compukit's UK101.
