You’ve reminded me of a post I made on here about storage capacity. Searching for it now, I was surprised to find that it was as much as six years ago:

I remember that my first IBM-compatible PC came with a 40 MB hard drive (twice the capacity of the HDD on the machine I was using at my place of work) and replacing the supplied HDD with a 100 MB one cost me about 100 GBP.

@AlfredO Did you use Edlin? What DOS version was that?

No.

I think it was MS-DOS 3.3, but please bear in mind that it was a very long time ago and my memory isn’t what it was!

3.3 waaaaaaaaaah, dude, you light years past Edlin. Edlin you had to count chars to tell it what char u wanted to change, but I digress.

It’s your thread, so if you’re happy with the answers to your original question you can digress as much as you like!

Well no one here knows, I suspect Pauls answer is the reality, ie it will work eventually.

Cant expect much more. The rest of the babble, stems from my frustration with Apples attitude, but not relevant to the OP, funs over. Thank you @Alfred for landing the plane.

I remember well getting excited by the CP/M OS text editor long forgotten called Credit short for character edit. We used it back in 1976-1981 on our Intel MDSs compiling 8085 assembly language in protection relay devices. It had advanced features such as macros and search replace which was awesome at the time and certainly beat my previous work on 6800 micros using paper tape teletype which only had one way of editing, scrap and start again 😩

@Paul MuddittAhhhhh, come on Paul, real men program in machine language, usually while on mushrooms, with a tequila chaser.

Looks like I picked the wrong week, to stop doin shrooms and cactus squeezins.

The plane was on the damn ground, its @Alfreds fault, he did a touch and go instead of landing the plane.

@Paul Mudditt Here’s mine, tried googling it nothin.

This was a research project that never got off the ground, damn again wrong time to give up shrooms an’ cactus squeezins.

Hard to read, but at bottom says “who are those guys?”

The shirt has faded, over the years, unlike me tho!
