I recall adding 32 32k memory chips to an add-on board to give my 286 3mb total of system memory at a cost of ~us$300.00. Had a 35mb Seagate hard drive that lasted about 4 months.
I had one of the first S-100 bus 16K memory boards. It cost $200 for 4K bytes of chips. My IMSAI 8080 came with no memory at all. This was just over 30 years ago. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
