If you were to buy a new computer in 1984, you could expect the following for $6700:

IBM AT (Advanced Technology)
4.77 MHz
64 KB Ram
1.2 MB Floppy Drive
Color Monitor
20 MB Hard Drive

The slowest 286 ran an at 6 MHz not 4.77. Check it out.

I'm also pretty sure the 1.2 MB FDD came along quite a bit later.
