A Zenith Z-241 (80286, 6MHz, 0 wait states, making it a bit faster than the 8MHz IBM AT with wait states), bought through their academic discount program and shipped to me. It came with one 1.2 MB floppy drive, and I added a 360KB. Imagine running C compiles and MASM links with no hard disk! It shipped with 256KB of memory. I soon filled out real memory to 640KB. I later added 1MB of extended memory so I could experiment with DOS/16M-capable databases. I saved and bought a 30MB hard drive the next year. Par-ty! But at night, I got to run mainframes!
