Re:Agreed on finding a drive (Score 1)

Hah, youngster! When I started with PC's (I was on DEC Mini's before that), they didn't even have hard drives of any kind. Only 8-sector single-sided floppies. Before the MFM & RLL stuff came out, we were trying to get 5-Meg SCSI (Still Can't See It) drives to work - mostly unsuccessfuly. The IBM XT, with its built-in 10-Meg hard-drive, was a quantum-leap forward from the original PC.

And we still managed to get an entire UNIX-V7 clone installed and running on anything with at least 192K of RAM (the Coherent O/S). Before XENIX, even - and WAY before LINUX.
