My first was a TI 99-4A. From there I went to a CoCo. [ Both of which I 
still have in working condition. ] Then it was an old Leading Edge 8088 
XT. Ran 7MHz in TURBO Mode. Came with two 5.25 floppy drives. I changed 
them out for 3.5 floppies. Didn't even have a place, or interface, for a 
hard drive. I had to Southern Engineer one in an old scsi case with a 
separate power supply running the ribbon cable out the card slot in the 
back from the IDE card to the drive. Had DOS 3 and Windows 1. Still have 
both of those around here somewhere to. I had a "Rampat" board that I 
had 100M of memory on. The computer couldn't access all that memory 
directly so I used it as a ramdisk. The bat files I used to run 
everything would copy the program from the hard drive to the ramdisk and 
run it from there. It ran much faster from the ramdisk than it could 
from the hard drive.

I've got an old TRS-80 that just needs the boot floppies to run. Also 
have a Xerox double 8.5 floppy drive with a box of software on 8.5 floppies.
