Model K 202 did not occupy the whole room; it had a monitor and a compatible keyboard. The target was achieved. K 202 weighed 35 kilograms and cost 5 thousand dollars. The machine worked on a 16-bit processor and performed a million operations per second, which is 20 times more than modern Odra at that time.
