My first home computer was a Kaypro new 2, late 1984.

Then others including Kaypros, Epson QX-10, Televideo, ??

In 1994 I got a 486-33 DX with VLB slots, as well as short and long? ISA
slots?

And I had the dealer install a bigger hard drive, 340Mb.

It had a 360Kb 5-1/4" floppy drive as well as a 3-1/2" one.

Thanks,
Sheldon
