I have a buddy on a tight budget who is trying to fix up a Lobo Max-80 CPM computer. It has a THICK keyboard with all the guts (CPU, LOGIC & MEMORY) inside and a lot of interesting connectors on the back edge. The model number is 1282-71. It has four 8 inch, single sided drives (only two hooked up and working) and a monochrome monitor. The connectors are labeled parallel printer, UVC Winchester, 5 inch floppy and I/O expansion. All of these (I think) are the kind where an edge connector would plug on to the circuit board. There are also two 25 pin serial port plugs (A & B) and a phono-jack type video out connector. We would like to add on 5.25 inch DSDD disk drives and keep at least one of the 8 inch drives. If the Lobo Company is still in the business, We would like that address / phone number. Also would like to find ready to run commumications (modem) software in an appropriate 8 inch disk format. (If can't get the 5.25 drive addition, will be stuck with 8 inchers.) Please e-mail information / guesses / clues / hints to Bob Cloud. Thanks in advance. bobcloud @ FICC @ Houston, Texas 713-274-5530
