I have received an inquiry about whether CP/M is available for the
TRS80 Model I equipped with a Lobo Drives expansion interface. The
owner has LDOS, two MPI-B51 40-track single-density drives, and an
MX-80 printer.
He says that the Omicron "mapper" will not work with this setup. Does
anyone know of an alternative?

alas, the Omikron mapper is the only CP/M converter I remember
being still current, although convergent technologies and a
couple other outfits at one time made mappers for model one trs
80. Definitely no way to use the mapper with the lobo lpx-80
which is a pity, and was also a (inexplicable) deliberate
decision on lobo's part.
