ah yes that brought back memories of pre 286.


you could also boot a IBM PC off a 360K 5 1/4" floppy with only 3 files on it..........autoexec.bat, config.sys, and sys.ini


amber or green monitor? you got your choice.

and a 4 pin printer head with tractor feed paper.


then came CGA and EGA graphics, oh oh 4 or 16 colors now! and 286/386/486 cpus.
