I went 64->128->8088.
When I went with the 10 MHz 8088 with a 40 MB hard drive I also looked at the alternatives of getting either the Amiga 500 or just getting a Lt. Kernal 20 MB hard drive for my 128.
The driving factor for needing more storage of course was for my BBS at the time.
In all I’m happy I went the IBM compat route.
- joegahona 5y agoWow, “Lt. Kernal 20 MB” is something I haven’t thought about in ages. A friend of mine bought whatever the competitor to the Lt. Kernal was at the time, used, and it was a complete lemon — he never got it working and never recouped his money. I wish I could remember the name of it — he was going to start his own BBS called and I was going to be a subop. I was a hard-core BBS user back in that era but never actually ran one, so I went 64 > 128 > Amiga 500 > 386.
