I distinctly recall PS/2 computers with a 2.88mb drive. I also happen to keep a Hayes microchannel modem (2400b) and an Arcnet card at my desk at work as a reminder to all the young folks of just how long I've been at this.I do believe you are absolutely correct. I was on the fargin design team for the PS/2. Which means that what we had to prove was the best possibobble results. Hence 1.44MB only for stuff we could use for testing. But... that wasn't ever thought of again (by us Engrs.) after it went out there.

I bought a Gateway 486 with either 4 of 8mb of ram in 1992 for around $2,200 and I thought that was fast. (Yes, mb for the youngsters). 32mb at that time would be crazy!!Spent around 10K on a micro channel in the early 90's then it was tough getting a graphics card for it.
It was like a 486 50mh with 32 ram.
Did it have a turbo button?I bought a Gateway 486 with either 4 of 8mb of ram in 1992 for around $2,200 and I thought that was fast. (Yes, mb for the youngsters). 32mb at that time would be crazy!!
Seems crazy compared to my current laptop:
