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.
