I usually ran a 10 meg ram drive since most of the DOS software couldn't really exploit more than a couple meg anyway with the expanded memory driver. I never used more than a small fraction of that. It was really a "hobby" special, in a wooden box with a cardboard face and a tea strainer on top for a fan grille. It sat on my desk at IBM for over a year. I think I have a picture somewhere. The 80286 cpu was the chip I used in the first PC I assembled. This was a PC/AT 339 board scavenged out of a Publix store controller. I worked my way through hard drives until I finally scored an 80 meg ST4096. My first boss at System Industries was Rich Blackborow who went over to Quantum and Plus Systems and developed the Hard Card. First drive with an integrated controller in the drive. |
