I talk about the Partner and other Iskra Delta computers in my HOPE talk, but the more interesting thing is how Yugoslavia sold its IT products to countries that didn't have access to Western technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18BKW9ugjQM

It's been suggested that they were actually referring to the Russian Iskra computers, though it's not super clear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iskra-1030
