My first HDD was a $399 20mb Full Height 5-1/4" Seagate for my Zenith Z-152 desktop, probably at the end of '87 or '88. I paid $3k for that machine with 320k of RAM, dual 5-1/4" floppies (no HDD), a green monochrome monitor, and an Okidate ML-92 9-pin printer (which I still have). I souped it up from 4.77 MHz to 7 MHz with a V-20 chip and added RAM to 1 megabyte. Also souped up my modem from a 1200-baud external to a 2400-baud external, after which I could no longer read the Compuserve forums as they downloaded -- had to get OzCIS to download the forums and read them off-line. I ran a Wildcat BBS on that machine for many years .... finally gave it away to my kid's preschool with a bunch of learning games after upgrading it to CGA ;-) -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-895-3270 ~! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
