Hard drive????
Try tape drive only, then moving up to floppy drive of 100K, then to
200K floppy.
For a long time I wanted a pair of 8" floppy drives.
The first hard drive available for home use was 5MB and cost about $5000.
I didn't get one of those until many years later when they were a give
away item.
I spent many years using Osborne or Kaypro CPM systems with 64K ram
and floppy drives only.
I find it interesting that a major portion of the added power of
modern computers is spent on eye candy.
Just part of the fun.
