UMC-10
UMC-10 ( Polish Uniwersalna Maszyna Cyfrowa-10 , Universal Digital Machine-10 ) is a Polish generation II transistor computer [1] manufactured by the Elwro factory. The first copy was produced in 1965; in total, three copies were produced, which were used in the Warsaw Polytechnic . UMC-10 is a further development of the UMC-1 tube computer. The programs used on the computer are written in the programming languages W-18 and W-20 . UMC-10 also used the ALGOL-60 language compiler called “UMC-ALGOL”, which was located at the Department of Designing Mathematical Machines of the Warsaw University of Technology [2] .
