20 MB HDD! OMG... and the CPU, at least it was even faster than NES (1.79 MHz NTSC version, 1.66 MHz PAL version)..... yes old days...
My dad's first PC was a 386SX and after that a 486SX, when I used to play with my all-mighty and powerful MS-DOS 6.0  |

 Those computers are mad.
We used to have one of them I think, or one of the ones where you plug in the tape player... I can't quite remember. |
