The times do change don't they? The first computer I owned with a hard 
disk was a CP/M based system. It had a SCSI interface with a "huge" 
10MB (yes megabyte!) Xebec "Owl" drive. The Xebec drive was very 
leading edge at the time -- it was a half height 5.25" form factor. 
The system is still packed away. Someday when I'm bored I should try 
to boot it up.
