Hello everyone! I recently found a computer in my shed, all dusty. I searched for information and really didn't find anything. If there are knowledgeable people here, then answer a couple of questions.
1. Is this computer a weak computing station, like all the other old ones. Or is it some kind of narrowly focused equipment?
2. Does it have financial value?
3. What do you advise to do with it? Leave it as a rarity for future years? Or does this equipment have no financial or intellectual value? And is it easier to throw it away?
The equipment stood in a cluttered shed for 30 years - https://imgur.com/a/eidZ1fd
Here's my email if anything decralaw@gmail.com
I would be grateful for any advice

Using the search function at Robotrontechnik.de you would get this result:
https://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/computer/terminals.htm#k8913

These terminals were typically used in a group of 8 at one of these computers:

https://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/computer/a5222.htm
https://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/computer/a5230.htm
Do more terminals and the mail computer of your system still exist?

Google ignores rare things in the Internet which don't pay money to Google.
Thats why I wrote "Search function at Robotrontechnik.de".
A lot of GDR computers are not indexed by Google, although Pages about it exist.

1. Is this computer a weak computing station, like all the other old ones. Or is
it some kind of narrowly focused equipment?

- It is a terminal with a Z80 CPU.

2. Does it have financial value?

- That's in the eye of the beholder.

3. What do you advise to do with it? Leave it as a rarity for future years? Or does this
equipment have no financial or intellectual value? And is it easier to throw it away?

- Give to someone who will enjoy it.

Thank you all for your answer, I was surprised by the statement that the functions of this computer can be in demand at the present time for use. Initially, I was confused by the fact that the information on the site cannot be translated using Google Translate, I had to write the text by hand, from which I understood that this device is a "duplicate" for the main computer, The computer looks incredible, I will try to clean it and start it, thanks to everyone who answered

You are possibly misunderstanding the K8913: If it is still functional, it will display some self test messages and will wait then endless for download of OS from host computer A52xx.

The likelihood that power supplies and fly-back transformer need service first is high.

Plugging onto power without a repair before will likely damage your K8913.

I have functional K8913 and A5220 in the exhibition.
You can see impressions about the restoration of the system here: https://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/sonderbeitraege/a5220.htm

Thank you, I read the article, it's just incredible work, now it becomes clear why there is not much information on such a topic, this equipment is for those enthusiasts, Without the main computer there is almost no point in the k8913, I would not have figured out such subtleties, thank you for taking the time
