Inspired by the following thread...

346mb. Intel 286 processor.

Not sure how big the hard drive was in the Apple IIe, that was probably smaller (not in physical size)

No HD was ever inside a //e, there was 10MB 20MB, and 30MB 'Siders' out there...they were daisy chainable which was cool too, however, they were no faster than a floppy drive in access. Also in the mid 80's, the 10MB retailed for $700...my complete //e system with Grappler+, Apple DMP, dual drives, monitor, system saver, and a few other goodies was $2600 then.

The drives were wierd also that you had to have so many partitions (I think it was emulating a floppy somehow) you could also have all the operating systems installed and boot from them.

These were pretty big, like a 1/2 height shoebox in size.
 
first computer we ever owned... i'm not really sure. I was 6 years old and it was a Tandy 1000 or something like that. Used those really big floppy disks, all I remember is playing a game called "President of the United States", some sort of trivia thing. First computer that I knew something... a compaq w/a 1.5 gig HD
