[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 71603, member: 60"] Some of us started with pc's when they did not have hard drives. :o On the Apple II for example you had to punch a hole of the right of the floppy and then you could use the other side... My late father used to make the controller cards for the bubble memory storage that the Apple used. Our first XT (NEC V20/8088) after a Sperry with colour screen (IBM compatible) was a DIY job. The power supply connectors pins on the boards was made up of nails. When you used a 16bit ISA MFM controller on you 10Mb (MFM) disc it got a speed warp... when you upgraded to 286... [/QUOTE]
