I beg to differ:

Robotron 1715, 1984, VEB Kombinat Robotron
Robotron computers

Robotron was the leading computer manufacturer in the former GDR, which at that time at least politically was considered part of Eastern Europe.

My father had a KC 85/3 [1] in the late 80's, which was my first contact with a computer. It got kind of burried in the basement after the fall of the Berlin wall and my father's purchase of his first PC.
But in the late 90's, when I was in high school and made a presentation about computer history, we unburried it and I brought it to school, where it was quite a great attraction that day.
I kept it through my studium, but when I graduated and moved out of my dorm room, my mother unfortunately threw it in the junk.
