I wonder if you misremember the specs.  My recollection was that when the 386sx was current, 40, 80 and 120mb drives were all the rage.  500mb would have been monstrously large in the early 90s.

Yup; around 93-94 I was upgrading all the drives for an architect's office to 400MB.

Of course, he also got one of the first large format flatbed scanners in town, which we set up and tested.  Somewhere on a backup, I bet I still have the scan of the cute office assistant's boobs.

A case of new Seagate drives anyone?


These are all pics of computer rigs I have had through the years and gear I have had. Yeah, I speak a little geek...

Ah, the days when ones computer came with at least one programming language option (and oftentimes, two, if you were handy with Debug,)

Of course, back then, many programs were found in magazines & you had the "joy" of typing in 400 lines of BASIC code and hoping you didn't make a typo.

Then there was the REAL PITA of finding out that a given program was actually for a flavor of BASIC that wasn't actually compatible with the one your computer had....

Did several of those. Wife would type during the day and when I'd get home I would debug.
Hours of  fun working on it together.
