Another characteristic feature of Asian electronics of those years is these chip droplets on boards. They were used everywhere that in wristwatches, that in consoles, tape recorders and other household appliances. Although the Japanese still tried to normal chips with conclusions and which can be replaced. China and Taiwan, please. Captured the market by reducing the cost of manufacturing and disposability. I also wondered how you could fit so many functions into such a small chip. The entire Soviet kit is usually all sorts of K155LA3 and decipherers, at best - what was called BIS in the Soviet literature. It wasn’t until I moved to the big city that I learned about programmable microcontrollers and that flash memory was developed and started to be used back in the 90s.
