[comp.sys.tandy] Lobo Max question

backstro@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (04/19/88)

I have a question about the Lobo-Max 80 (TRS Mod II workalike).

I have a pair of DS/DD 8" drives. They were manufactured by Magnetic 
Peripherals (a subsidiary of Control Data) for NCR. Apparently they were
used in a cash register system. I talked to a guy at Shugart (they bought 
out the whole mess just to complicate things) and he said they were 
equivalent to shugart SA 850's (I think.. Just off the top of my head).
But he also thought that the pin out might be different. Well, I never 
heard from him again and would like suggestions from anyone on what to
do. I'd really like to hook these monsters up.

I bought 'em at a sale...couldn't resist...
