We used to have 512 MB RAM and 10 MB RL02 disks, later the first "Winchester Disks" of 10/20/40 MB (emulating 1-4 RL02 disks). >> My phone is more powerful (but much harder to spool a 9-track tape into.) Yeah, these were really big drives. > I met a retured IBM engineer on the train a couple of weeks ago.

But wire-wrapping interface cards was something I did routinely.
