PK-01 “Lviv” is an 8-bit educational and household microcomputer . It was developed around 1986 - 1987 at the Lviv Polytechnic Institute by associate professor Vladimir Yakovlevich Puida. Produced by the Lviv Production Association. V.I. Lenin. The cost of the computer was 750 rubles [1] [2] . Later, a special laboratory was created, where under the guidance of V. Ya. Puida the serial prototype PK-01 was improved, PK-01M, PK-02 “Mukachevo”, PK-03 based on i8088 , a clone of which was mastered in the USSR, were developed. However, PK-03 existed only in a prototype and after the collapse of the USSR, work was stopped [3] .

In total, by the end of 1991, according to various estimates, about 80 thousand units were produced. PK-01 "Lviv". It was mainly used for organizing training classes in schools and universities, as well as a working PC in research laboratories, in mobile devices for various purposes in industry, etc. A version of the PC-02 computer was developed (it was being prepared for release on factory in the city of Mukachevo), which had an increased amount of internal ROM - 128 Kb, RAM with a page organization - 128 Kb, advanced display capabilities - 256 colors, a full-featured keyboard, a GMD adapter (option). Accordingly, the BASIC interpreter was finalized. The new version could not provide full compatibility with the PC-01 software. PC-03 was also developed based on the I8088, which was running MS DOS. Existed only in the form of a prototype. However, with the collapse of the USSR, all further work was curtailed.
