The family DX2/66 came with 420MB back in 95 and my mates DX4/100 a couple of months later came with 500MB. Some time in 96 We upgraded to a 1GB HDD, It seemed massive at the time.

Now my 486 has 2 drives C:\ is the real HDD so I dont miss out on the sound when the computer boots and D:\ is a CF card mounted on bracket and I have a few CF cards I just swap around depending on what game I want to play

I really like 210, 340 and 540MB HDDs. 105MB is fine for 80286s: you can put many games from that era on a HDD that size. 😊

Thats the line I was thinking of going for my 386/486's. Now I just have to find some at a reasonable price so I can re-live all that HDD chatter glory!
