Electronics Industry In East Germany
East Germany was one of the leading computer producers in the Eastern Bloc as purchases of higher technologies from the West were under various embargoes. A program of illegal purchases, copying and reverse engineering of Western examples was established, after which GDR sold these computers to COMECON countries. Under the rule of Erich Honecker, electronics, microelectronics and data processing industries grew at average 11.4% in the 1970s and 12.9% during the 1980s. Structure in 1989 In the years just before German Reunification, the electronics industry was structured into business conglomerates called ''Kombinate'' (Combine (enterprise), combine). Semiconductor manufacturing equipment was produced by Carl Zeiss AG#Corporate history, Kombinat Carl Zeiss Jena. Using this equipment ''VEB Kombinat Elektronische Bauelemente Teltow'' manufactured Electronic component#Passive components, passive electronic components and ''VEB Kombinat Mikroelektronik Erfurt'' Electronic component#Ac ...

Megabit ZMD U61000C
The megabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information. The prefix mega-, mega (symbol M) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 106 (1 million), and therefore :1 megabit = = = 1000 kilobits. The megabit has the unit symbol Mbit or Mb. The lowercase 'b' in Mb distinguishes it from MB (for megabyte). The megabit is closely related to the mebibit, a unit multiple derived from the binary prefix mebi-, mebi (symbol Mi) of the same order of magnitude, which is equal to = , or approximately 5% larger than the megabit. Despite the definitions of these new prefixes for binary-based quantities of storage by international standards organizations, memory semiconductor chips are still marketed using the metric prefix names to designate binary multiples. Using the common byte size of eight bits and the standard decimal definition of megabit and kilobyte, 1 megabit is equal to 125 kilobytes (kB) or approximately 122 kibibytes (Ki ...
