I got you beat. When I started out, we were using IBM 2311 disk drives, a washing-machine-sized unit with 7 1/2 meg capacity.
I can't top that. I only go back to PDP8, paper tape, core memory, and Priam 14" drives.

I remember the PDP8. I remember having to load the boot code from the switch registers, then booting from paper tape. Our college “small computer lab” also had a PDP-5.
