1985 Hard Drive


By David Ponce

It’s from back in the days when computers were giant grazing woolly mecha-mammoths. One was caught in the wild, it’s hard drive removed and is now on display at the Drivesavers booth at Macworld.

    What gives with the 6GB drive for $400? I can get a 200 GB drive for $110 Canadian got to be even less in the U.S.

    I'll wager that would be the worlds smallest Hard Drive, so small you need to have a magnifying glass to see it.

    i had a 20 meg hard drive put in my mac 512 in 1986, cost me $1200. also had them hard wire 4megs of ram with 256k ram chips. we wondered at the time how in the world we were going to use 20megs storage.

    bring back mac system 7. fit on a floppy!
