Atari did try to market to the USSR, from what I've heard. The problem was that GDOS was not really ready yet, and all of the cyrillic stuff was a weak hack. I understand that a Danish/British computer called Thor, which does work well with cyrillic, has taken a lot of the USSR market. David Megginson MEGGIN@VM.epas.utoronto.ca
