Hah. That was my first pc, an IBM 80486. Had a whopping 20meg hard drive, floppy, DOS and then Windows 3. WordPerfect, Foxpro, Lotus123. Was a powerhouse!

- theodric 6y ago20MB is microscopic for a 486! I had an 8088 with a 10MB drive and a 386SX laptop with a 120MB 2.5" drive, and neither was particularly special!
- neonblurb 6y agoI'd wager he meant 200MB, particularly given the software listed, my Windows folder on my Dosbox install of WFW 3.11 on its own clocks in at about 26MB (though admittedly Windows 3.0 was probably half that size) I recall my IBM PS/1 at the time had maybe a 340MB hard drive which I quickly filled with games :)
- michaelkaufman 6y agoYou guys are correct. I actually meant it was an 8086 processor; before 486, right? It was a 20 meg HD and 64b ram. Was kind of a smallish case and motherboard. Maybe a micro atx I'm guessing.
