A Dual disk drive that was sold as a companion to the 80xx-SK range of computers, the LP stands for Low Profile, as the machine is considerably less tall than the 8250.

Like all Commodore disk drives, these drives were “smart” devices. They had their own processor, their own memory, and their own disk operating system. Basically, a Commodore computer and its disk drive resemble a network.
