Me? 20 Mb on a 286.

Responses:

10 MB i guess (the first IBM PC with harddisk had what???) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 13:00
Whatever came on the Apple II+ - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 12:53 1
- came with? it came with a floppy drive (if you didn't go with the cassette port) -- nm - zork Nov 3, 12:56
Not sure. Our first family computer was an 086 I believe. -- nm - Shaun Nov 3, 12:52
40mb, doublespaced to 100mb -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:49
I think it was 80MB. The first computer we ever had at home was a Commodore 64--with no hard-drive. - Trish Nov 3, 12:46 1
- I had a Commodore 64, too. I wonder what ever happened to all those discs. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 12:55
I think 80MB. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:46
I think 1 gb? Maybe 10gb. I forget. - JaxSean Nov 3, 12:45 1

Probably 6. I think I have it at home somewhere -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:44 5
- my first computer was an Apple IIe - it didn't even have a hard drive :) -- nm - decline Nov 3, 12:46 3
  - My Commodore 64 was legendary for the quality of its floppy disc drive. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:47
  - True. I have to go back to the earlier computers we had that used casette tapes technically -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:47 1
    - Yeah, my first computer didn't have a HD either. Why were the floppy drives so noisy back then... - celedhrymandias Nov 3, 12:48
- oh wait. I'm not thinking back far enough. probably more in the 20-40 range -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:45
40 MB. And as I always mention, Wing Commander took up 7 MB on its own. - David Nov 3, 12:44
40. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:43
