Well, if we're gonna talk PCMs, let's not forget Formation!

 

Actually, OK, let's forget Formation. The Formation 4000 we had was . not a 
great machine. Favorite story: the time we took a power hit, restarted, and (it 
eventually turned out) it had somehow decided that the 64KB chips in its memory 
were 16KB chips, and was pretty unhappy that it could only find 1MB of the 4MB 
it thought it should have. Turned out to be a bad solder that the power hit had 
somehow affected.
