Hi,
I was curious if anyone had any information about (or experience with)
LOBO
Systems MAX-80's. I have four of these, and they
came with no
accessories, documentation, etc.
I found an operations manual and a Technical Reference manual, but
that's
about it.
My only testing so far was to connect them to an NTSC monitor, and all I
get is some static-like display. Reading the operation manuals, it says
something to the extent that it should display static if there are no
disk
drives attached. But another part of the manual says
it should show
some
text on power-on.
It's not saying that you will get something on the screen without disk
drives attached, it's saying that AND valid boot media..Do you have boot
disks? Otherwise you're not going to get very far. On my web site I have
the scan of the page that you need to know where to attach the drive, but
it's documented in the manual. There are boot media images online you can
build using the ImageDisk.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to find some disk images and attach a
drive, hopefully his weekend. I'm hoping these work, because I find them
really neat, for some reason.

Wanted one of those years ago, liked thedesign better than the trs-80 it was
kind of a clone of.
