*AV*---I do not think we could start most of these computers with 640K nowadays. With all of the memory needed for just the drivers, let alone the OS, it would be impossible. Remember when the ST251-1 MFM hard drive cost $750 for this most state of the art 40Mb storage device? Now its 10 Gb for close to $150.<GGG> Then again, 40Mb was more than anyone would need in a lifetime.
