You must have had double density. My first was one I built. It Well, it was either double density single sided, or normal density double sided, I don't remember. Was 160k either ways.
One thing though, while S.A. was still in isolation, we were WAY behind on PC hardware. My father bought a XT computer, complete with orange screen, no graphics card (had to buy a separate card and load something like "g8sw" to activate graphics mode), two 360k floppy drives and no hard disc, in 1989 for his business. Hard drives were available, but very expensive (even for computer equipment). If I remember correctly, my dad also bought a new Ford Sierra 2.0, which cost less than the computer. 286 might have been available, but obviously way too expensive.... -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
