"Commodore 64 RAM Disk"

Oh man.

I manually stuffed 1.5mb (three 512mb RAM cards) for an image capture system. My thumbs got blisters. The PC was an over clocked Tandy 80286 (8 mhz!). I forget the name of the goofy Lotus/Intel/Microsoft memory expander contraption. That Tandy was a tank.

We were doing large format image capture for document archival. Totally not worth it. Results were unusable. But we had investers, so...

Before that, I thought I was pretty cool pimping my Apple //e with an 80 column character display and 128kb RAM. True word processing, WYSIWYG.

I think that Tandy was the best computer I ever owned.
