A friend of mine went hard drive shopping one day. We looked at brand
new 2Gb drives - about $300 each. That was a little too big and a
little too much money. So we went to a couple of second hand shops.
Some didn't have any hard drives that they were willing to sell
separately from the PC. One wanted to sell a 150Mb drive for almost
$200.
So eventually my friend buckled and bought the 2Gb drive.
It may be time to sever the emotional ties with those Slot 1
motherboards. I know it's hard. I've got a 386DX/40 motherboard
sitting next to me which will, one day, have 32 pin SIMMs to populate it
again.
