Did you mean during development? LM-1 does not look like a PC, though I think I do see the NEC CPU in these screemshots: https://www.matrixsynth.com/2014/06/vintage-linndrum-lm-1-sn... - of course there's more to a vintage PC than an 8086.

I went back to my notes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linn_9000 is 8088 PC with custom 7 slot ISA motherboard and standard ram/floppy controller cards

LM-1 and LM-2 were Z-80 based. Damn, cant edit my first post :( Thank you for correction.
