We got one of the rarest pieces of USSR computer hardware - a 600/19200 BI-01 modem. It could be used to build networks with different Soviet computers, such as ES-1841 we had a few episodes about.
This device is itself pretty interesting. Especially given that what we found inside was a bit surprising :)
