   I think that my drive is somewhere between 5 - 30 MB, and as you say
absolutely huge for a time when 64K of RAM was plenty. It is still sitting
under my table, the Microvitec monitor, dual 5 1/4 floppies, Model B, and
Master are all available, although moved to a shelf, together with an EPROM
writer/copier.
