CER Computer
CER (Serbian: Cifarski Elektronski Računar - "Digital Electronic Computer") was a series of early computers (based on vacuum tubes and transistors) developed by Mihajlo Pupin Institute (Serbia) in the 1960s and 1970s.
Models:
- CER-10 - 1960, based on vacuum tubes, transistors, electronic relays, and magnetic core memory. First Yugoslav digital computer(developed in "Vinca"-Institute) in (SFRY).
- CER-2 - 1963, a prototype model
- CER-20 - 1964, CER-30 - 1966, - the prototypes of the "electronic bookkeeping machine" for EI Niš and RIZ Zagreb;.
- CER-200 - 1966, series of 18 "electronic bookkeeping computers".
- CER-202-1968; CER-203 - 1972
- CER-22 - 1967, based on transistors, MSI circuits, magnetic core memory, punched cards and magnetic disks. Serie of 3 electronic systems, used for on-line banking operations and data processing applications;
- CER-12 - 1971, "electronic computer for business data processing", based on VLSI technology, wire wrapping boards, magnetic disks and magnetic tapes;
- CER-11 - 1966, based on transistors, core memory, Teletype printer etc. Mobile military computer (used in the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army);
- CER-101 Kosmos - 1973, based on VLSI circuits, core memory, magnetic drum, paper tapes, Teletype printers; Mobile computer in special military vehicles (used in the JNA's V.T. Institute);
- CER-111 - 1975, Mobile military computer, based on VLSI technology, Hard disk drive; Used in JNA until 1989.
