LOBO

MAX-80

CP/M Computer

Low S# 1083-011

The MAX‑80 was a complete computer in a 17″ by 10″ keyboard unit (which consumed only 28 watts). A standard configuration originally cost $820.00 for a 64K unit and CP/M. An additional 64K cost $95.00. Later on, the standard configuration changed to a 128K unit for $945.00.

All that was required to make a complete system was a monitor and disk drives. Many types of standard monitors could be used and Lobo Systems sold a 12″ monitor for $175.00. They also sold a variety of disk drive units, including:

• dual 40 track 5¼″ single-sided floppy drives for $690.00
• one 80-track double-sided floppy drive for $1,175.00
• dual single-sided 8″ floppy drives for $1,185.00
• dual double-sided 8″ floppy drives for $1,485.00
• one 4.8 MB hard drive (Winchester) for $2,100.00

Lobo also sold a “well-equipped” MAX‑80 system (128K keyboard unit, monitor, and two 5¼″ drives) for $1599.00.
