Dang! That thing must have been *expensive*. The 21MB HDD alone probably cost as a house. We had a portable 8086 but with out the HDD and monochrome LCD. Don't remember 2.5" floppy and one 5.25" floppy, or only one 2.5"? Back then and it cost more than $6250, so approx $20K in today's value.
Ah. https://jcmit.net/diskprice.htm
21*319 = $6699
So $40K in today money!?
To make that investment back then, phrack!
