We own a Lobo MAX-80 (which we love; we remmomend it to anyone
who has aa bunch of extra disk drives aroyund).
One of the biggest features of the MAX (ralph): it can make
disks formatted for the Osborne-1, the Xerox 820. Its standard
format (curiously enough) is compatible with the Morrow
MicroDecision's. Noi problem with any of those formats on those
particular machines. BUT BUTBUT: an Osborne-1 SD SS disk made
on the MAX cannot be read on the Morrow. It isn't just our MAX,
either: three different sMAXes confirm this on the Morrow. Does
anoyne out there know anything about this, and are there any
comments?
