I had one of those PC XT machines and also before that a Cordata with MS Dos 2.0 with 256k ram and 2 5.25 inch floppy drives. About the same time I also had a Apple 2+ with 64K memory and 2 single side 5.25 floppies that each held a whopping 120K of files. But the first computer I had was a Comodore Vic20 with 2.8K ram and stored files oncassette tape.

The first one I owned didn't even have a hard drive and the system board wouldn't have supported one. This was in 1984. The first IBM PC to have a hard drive was the PC XT and it shipped with a single 10Mb drive. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Tanner Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 10:20 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Memory Cards Well, let's see if somebody can beat this one.
