The EC 1834 personal computer was developed and manufactured in the DDR by VEB Robotron-Elektronik in Dresden, Fachgebiet Geräte E2 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (present-day Chemnitz) as principal developers, together with VEB Buchungsmaschinenwerk Karl-Marx-Stadt and VEB Robotron-Büromaschinenwerk "Ernst Thälmann" in Sömmerda. Around 34,000 EC 1834 computers were built, as well as 120 functional prototypes of the EC 1834.01/EC 1834.M model. The Robotron EC 1834 (designed by the Robotron collective) received a Good Design Award at the Leipzig Fair in spring of 1988. The EC 1834 was an IBM-PC-XT-compatible PC, equipped with an Intel-8086-compatible CPU K1810WM86 clocked at 4.9152 MHz. It had a socket for a math coprocessor, for which either a K1810WM87 or Intel 8087 could be used. It was equipped with two 5.25" floppy disk drives (double sided with a capacity of 720 KB), a hard disk drive (usually 20 MB, but sometimes also 40 MB, of which initially only 32 MB were accessible), and had 256 kB of main memory. The main memory could be expanded to 640 kB -- the limit of conventional memory at the time. PCs in the first production run were sometimes shipped without a hard drive but with up to four diskette drives. Some PCs with a hard drive only had one floppy disk drive. There were also reportedly some units with two hard disk drives installed.
