Those are not 8tracks, If I rememeber correctly those are ROM cartrages. Similar to those used in Atari's of the day.

I figured that later on. I hadn't seen a PC with both dual floppies and dual ROM's before. That thing's gotta be almost as old as me!

I would definitely be requiring a few changes of underwear if I saw that action out my window.

Ahh... one more

I can remember when Dual Floppies were a common thing and it is still possible to have a dual floppy system today on the latest AMD or Intel System if you can find an old dual floppy ribbon (I have 2 of them). As recently as 10 years ago I remember seeing and using new systems with dual floppy drives.

Usualy one floppy drive would hold the OS disk like dos or unix and only the rich had HDD's $1200 or more for a 5-10 megabyte hard drive. And it was usualy the midrange systems that had dual floppies the cheaper $1800-2000 budget systems had single floppes meaning that you were always having to swap between dos and the program disk and boot sequences were a bit painstakeing with a single floppy.

Cheap computers had monochrome screens in the shade of green and the more expensive ones had a high resolution 320x240 16colour screen.

Ask me I can tell you more. I used to use them.


EDIT: Great picture, I have seen it in 640x480 but not 1024x786. I can see much more in this version than the smaller one I had saved on my HDD.

A lot of the first systems I used were dual floppy only. I just hadn't seen a system with both dual floppy and dual ROMs before, just one or the other.
