They did a reprint of the original magazine from January 1984, to mark its 40 year anniversary. It can still be purchased online at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;prodavnica.pcpress.rs&#x2F;issue&#x2F;339&#x2F;1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;prodavnica.pcpress.rs&#x2F;issue&#x2F;339&#x2F;1</a>, and they ship internationally. I got my copy a few months ago, wanting to own a small piece of history.<p>You can buy the actual computer kit as well at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pcpress.rs&#x2F;galaksija&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pcpress.rs&#x2F;galaksija&#x2F;</a>, but that one ships only within Serbia.

There is a good talk about this computer here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;K2chYqir53U" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;K2chYqir53U</a>, in the vein of similar talks about the commodore 64 and gameboy, that goes very in depth on the inner workings of the galaksija

Didn’t Sinclair ZX80 also use the CPU instead of a video chip?

&gt; How one engineer beat the ban on home computers in socialist Yugoslavia<p>The title simply isn&#x27;t true. There was no ban on home computers, just a value limit for an import. And as the article shows, homegrown computers were common.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_computer_systems_from_Yugoslavia" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_computer_systems_from_...</a>
