Wow, what a ways mass storage has come. I remember when I thought I was pretty cool with an 80 meg hard drive back in 1990 :->

I assume storage at that time will be on a chip of some sort with 1GB taking up so small of an area that if you held the silicon (or what ever material chips were made of) in your hand that you would need magnification to see the volume that held the GB of data.

If MS is still in business it will be much much more than 640 kb per one instruction in MSVFM (MSVisualForMasses) language.

Let me guess; a Seagate ST4096 with Western Digital MFM controller? They ran hot enough to re-heat cold pizza and noisy enough to keep you awake at night. I'm wondering just what is the big disk drive in the picture. Are those 14 inch disk platters?

[Paul Conrad]

Actually it was a Maxtor hard drive. I did have a 250 megabyte Seagate that fits your description about heat and noise :-D
