+
+LNW company name came from its three founders' names: Gene **L**u, Michael G. **N**orton (President) and Ken **W**oog. In 1980, the company started manufacturing expansion and interface cards for the [Tandy TRS-80 Model 1](/museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-i/) and then sold the first TRS-80 compatible single-board kit.
+
+The LNW-80 was an early TRS-80 clone system, sold as a kit or assembled, and fully hardware and software compatible. It was a powerful machine offering much more advanced features than the original Model 1, including most features found on the TRS-80 expansion interface:
+
+\- Two selectable speeds, 1.77 Mhz (Tandy original) and 4 Mhz.\
+\- 8 colours, 480 x 192 high resolution graphics\
+\- RGB and monochrome monitor outputs\
+\- Expanded keyboard with numeric keypad\
+\- Versatile floppy disk controler for single/double sided 5.25" or 8" disks, single or double density format\
+\- Serial RS-232C and Parallel interfaces.
+
+Later, LNW sold two other computers, the **LN80 II** and the **LN80 TEAM**, a MS-DOS based system (no info at the moment).
+
+In 1984 the company went bankrupt mainly because of its warehouse burglary, as all of its computers stock disapeared!
