My first personal hard drive was a 10 meg drive in my 4.77 Mhz Compaq luggable & DOS 2.1. I was reading all the computer magazines and found an article on how to get into the controller firmware with a Debug command. I reformatted the drive into a RLL compressed format and got 22 Megs of storage. The computer had twin 360K floppy drives. I could not store one high quality photo on 360K today.
When CDs first came out I lusted after a CD burner. I was on FIDO net back then and started looking for the best CD burner. Some bloke from Australia recommended an external SCSI Plextor 2X drive. It was over 1 grand but I managed to get the boss to buy one for the office. To have a huge 640 MB of storage was just wonderful. I could borrow it on the weekends.
