Back in the early 80's, if you had an Atari Computer, and I did, you could add a disc drive for only $599.99. (Almost of the price of the computer!) A floppy disc back then could hold about 88K of usable memory, until the double density Atari 1050 drive I show in this video. That could hold something like 130K of usable memory! And then I bought the amazing RanaSystems 1000. Compact and lots of LED lights, unlike the 1050 which had a signal red LED. And it was only $399.99. So here's a peek at some old dust-gathering equipment it's time to toss out.
