IBM PC-AT

Stock frequency was 6 MHz. I overclocked the one at work to 9MHz. Woohoo! 50% overclock! Overclocking involved pulling one socketed crystal and replacing it with another.

That machine had 40 MB of hard disk space and 3.6MB of RAM. It cost about $10K for the hardware and software.

It was running the SCO Xenix operating system. (Multitasking/Multiuser) There were four dumb terminals hooked up to it so that multiple people could use it. We even had a couple 1200 Baud modems so I could dial up from home. Even had an interface to the IBM Selectric typewriter for high quality printing.

That was one loaded system.
