Low cost, expandable Limrose LMC 6800-2 Limrose Electronics was founded in May 1971 by Dr Ravi Raizada as a seller of electronic logic tutors which taught how basic logic gates operated[source: http://www.vintage-icl-computers.com/icl48i]. It went on to release the MTP8080 Microtutor - a teaching and development system based on Intel's 8080 - in 1976. The LMC 6800-2 from Limrose's Microprocessor Division, of Northwich in Cheshire, appears to the the company's second version of its Motorola 6800-based micro. It's following the tutororial and teaching theme of its predecessors as it looks very much aimed at the development, school and laboratory environment with its 19" rack-mounting design.

From PCW, July 1978] The LMC 6800-2 seems to have been derived from Motorola's EXORciser development system for that company's 6800 processor, as it shares the same 86-pin EXORciser bus[source: https://treasures.scss.tcd.ie/literature/TCD-SCSS-V.20141006.001/EXORbus-documents-from-bitsavers.org-20150518/M6800_EXORciser_Users_Guide_1975.pdf], and possibly a version of Motorola's EXbug, here renamed to LIMBUG. Its target of the developers' market seems apparent with its particular list of features, including comprehensive machine-code debugging facilities and an "almost foolproof" crash-proof BASIC in ROM. It even had a built-in logic analyser - useful for checking state at the very lowest processor levels. It retailed for £370 plus VAT in kit form, which is around [[400|1978]] in [[now]]. Limrose survived as Limrose Group Limited right up until 2022[source: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01010616].
