===== History and Trivia =====

Orao was an 8-bit computer designed by Miroslav Kocijan to supersede Galeb (code named YU101), and developed by PEL Varaždin in 1984. Orao became the computer of choice for educational use in the Croatian elementary schools, from 1985 to 1991.

When turned on, it would start the monitor and you have to type a command to start the BASIC. There is no text mode. Characters are drawn in graphic mode in an 8x8 grid, allowing the system to display 32 characters x 32 lines.
