date check

Please check the date (1971) for this microcomputer. The first eight-bit microprocessors upon which most early microcomputers were based were not introduced until 1974. Earlier 4-bit processors were used in calculators, not computers. --Blainster 06:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article on this computer's designer says that it was a minicomputer, not a microcomputer. Article updated appropriately. --Blainster 06:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was very hard to find any information on this subject...

Looking at a advertisement from Poland about this computer it claims to be 16-bit with 4 million word memory plus another 16 K Words memory with the processing core. Also they claim that the exchange of information with the operational memory is around 16 MB/s

this is the only site with the specs that I could find. Sorry that it is in Polish.

There is a date visible at the green schema, and it is 1972. Hence it was probably invented in 1971 or 1972. Also note, that largest example configuration has 144 kB of RAM. --Kubanczyk 13:25, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since link above does not work, here is another one, with picture: http://brain.fuw.edu.pl/~durka/KIC/node78.html http://brain.fuw.edu.pl/~durka/var/K202/

Here a guy claims he worked on k202 http://plmiscelektronika.elektroda.net/plmiscelektr/03_2002_2/03_2002_2080.htm and that machine had 16 to 64Kb, with BASIC, many terminals, Szopen (talk) 13:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Define Cooperation

"K-202 was a 16-bit minicomputer, created by Polish scientist Jacek Karpiński between 1971-1973 in cooperation with British companies Data-Loop and M.B. Metals." Please specify what cooperation - the team under Karpinski designed,developed and built the unit in Poland. The Data-Loop and M.B. Metals were to provide financial support, marketing and window to the western markets after the eastern block was not interested in the technology. Karpinski was actually conned by Data-Loop and M.B. Metals which companies stole the technology and left him high and dry after the transfer of said technology to western companies. A little honesty - please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.164.135 (talk) 04:24, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please just provide WP:reliable sources for your assertions and it can be surely included in Wikipedia artice.--Kubanczyk (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
