Recent addition : Lobo MAX-80

Just a heads up; the built-in NiCad batteries need to be checked out
(and most likely replaced.) At least one of mine has evidence of leakage
that results in traces being eaten away. A very nice machine! IIRC, the
TRS drives will work just fine.

Lobo was built here in Santa Barbara. The story I got when I talked to
Roger Billings, the person who started Lobo, was that he was the
production manager for Polymorphic Computers. At some point, they
started running into financial problems that prevented them from buying
the parts they needed, and Roger started Lobo Drives buying the parts
and selling them to Polymorphic. The name Lobo came about because of his
pet wolf, Lobo. They started out with IIRC Apple drives and developed
the Lobo Computer afterwards.
