In fact I still have my old Amstrad 8086 machine which I presume stills works but have not booted it up for years that has 40mb hard card in the rear expansion slot. My late mum put that in for me LOL.

Amstrad 8086? Wasn't that an IBM-PC compatible? That's a name I haven't heard in a while. I also remember other UK computers like the BBC Acorn and the Sinclair computers of various marks. The two most famous ones was the Sinclair ZX-80 and the ZX-81, the latter much more widespread and was also known as the Timex Sinclair 1000.

Yes it was the IBM PC compatible using the 8086 Intel chip.

It actually had a VGA colour monitor as well which in 1989/1990 was considered state of the art.

It came with DOS 3.3 Operating system and Lotus Symphony, names from the past
