I know they definitely cloned IBM System/360 mainframes. The Bulgarians
apparently were good at cloning peripherals. And the Soviets certainly
cloned the IBM PC. Of course, they had their own architectures, too.
Some years ago, I think there was an article in IEEE CS Annals of Computing
about the Soviet computer scene.
