[quotemsg=21012984,0,1919666]Boy, when I was a wee lad, we had a sanyo 8086, dual floppies, and a green monochrome display to boot! Now I feel dreadfully old......... :/[/quotemsg]I know what you mean. One of my 1st computer jobs I would take IBM PCs with the 4.77 Mhz CPU and remove the 10MB Mini-scribe HDD and replace them with 60MB model from a San Diego company called Emerald. They also supplied a new chip for the IBM PC I could pull out the 4.77 and pop in a 8Mhz model and speed the PC. Later IBM started soldering those chips in so we couldn't replace them any more. Ah those were the days, 20MB hard drives were $500.
I still can't believe the IBM PC killed the Victor 9000, which had a 8086 CPU, 2x 1.2MB Floppies, 128KB RAM with MS DOS, UNIX, CPM86, and Basic support. It looked nice all black it was a very cool machine in the day. Way better than IBMs 1st offering which everyone agreed was a huge step backwards. The Victor 9000 was around $4K and it took IBM 2 generations just to put out a model to equal it, go figure.
