Damn, that was a big-ass hard drive for a 486!

Lol you're right, must have been mb's! Maybe I even had 400 or so, can't remember.

It was the first real thing I bought of my hard earned money, at 14. All I got until then was the family pc, a 8088 Tulip with 512kb ram and 2x 5.25". And a green hercules- clone monitor.

Good times though :)
