Ok, here goes... I remember in 1982 buying a 2k memory add on module for my Telephonix desktop computer for $2200.00. I bought a loaded XT in 1985 for $11,700 it had 2 10 meg hard drives, and something called a 370 option, which allowed me to port my mainframe IBM object code from my radar analysis toolset and get it to run under VM/PC, on the PC. We also developed the first 3rd party ISA card on the IBM buss. I remember sitting down for a morning with several IBM engineers going over machine cycles. They told us we couldn't do it, we did. I remember making my own DB-9's by hacksawing down a DB-25. I had the first AT on the eastcoast, when I spilled a cup of coffee on the keyboard, I had to drive 70 miles to the IBM office in Philly to get a replacement...
