Come to think of it, there were 3 Lobo TRS-80 clones... the LNW-80 (Mod 1
clone), PMC-80 (Mod 1 clone with built-in tape drive and plastic case like a
Sorcerer), and MAX-80 (Mod 3 clone)
I'll probably list all 3 on one line.
Thanks for the heads up

Lobo PMC-80
Do you possibly mean the MAX-80? I hadn't heard of a PMC-80.

Very close, BUT, . . .
They were NOT all Lobo. Neither LNW nor PMC were affiliated with Lobo
(aka LSI, etc.)
LNW was LNW Research, Inc.
I recently parted with my PMC 81? (with expansion interface, no built-in
cassette), to a more appreciative home. Maybe he'll describe it.

There's also a PMC-81.
