- ✔ Variations: In the beginning of the production this model was named IMKO-2, but consequently its name was changed to Pravetz 82 when mass production began. The difference between the two variations is only in the model name on the case as well as the model showed on the display once turned on. The newer modification of Pravetz 82 features right and left arrow keys on the keyboard.
- ✔ Notes: Initially it was supplied with a black and white monitor, a modified version the Bulgarian TV set Sofia-31, however the computer featured a port for a colour display. In the later versions the black and white modified TV set was replaced by a dedicated monitor, displaying greeen and black. The person in charge of the project was engineer Ivan Marangozov. The computer design was done in Bulgaria and it looked similiar to the original Apple II Plus. Just like every Pravetz model this one also has hardware cyrillic support, but due to the keyboard restriction of being able to use 7 bits for character set the cyrillic set replaced the original lower case english set of letters. This allowed for only typing with english and cyrillic capital letters.
