Dasus, 1 month ago Idk man. In the 1980s 8-inch drives used with some mid-range systems increased from a low of about 30 MB in 1980, to a top-of-the-line 3 GB in 1989. en.m.wikipedia.org/…/History_of_hard_disk_drives Seems like 30MB wasn’t horribly uncommon in “mid-range systems” in 1980, so I doubt that 40MB in 1982 would’ve been “incredibly uncommon.” But I’ve no personal experience from the time.
