Never had one of those. My first was a clone XT at Fry's electronics - no hard drive at first, just 2 floppies (both 360K) and hercules monochrome card and 12" amber monitor. 640K of ram though, on a full length board - one of those Everex sixpack things :). My brother sent me a microfiche scan at the library of an old newspaper (vintage 1986) which featured Fry's ads from that time period. Wow. He told me that his 750 gig drive would have cost some tens of millions of dollars if it had been manufactured back then. Actually he'd have a few thousand 20 meg MFM drives stacked from here to the nearest 7-11 :). If you get a chance, go over to archive.org and get some of the old Computer Currents (a locally, KCSM-TV produced show) around that time. I saw this one dated around 1987 some time ago that featured the first 386 production models. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
