Vuk ([ʋûːk]) was a computer prototype designed by a group of students from Leskovac in SFRY (now Serbia). It was supposed to be a multipurpose educational computer. The development started in 1984 and in 1988 about ten prototypes were produced. Although the design received awards, the Yugoslav industry was not interested, so the computer never reached the production phase.
