I don't think anyone had GB of anything back in the 80's. I remember back then when our IBM mainframe was upgraded to 1mb of core memory and that was serving 3 hospitals with 100's of terminals. My phone has 4 GB of RAM and 256GB of flash storage. I don't remember how much DASD storage the mainframe had but the disk drives were huge.
The IBM 3380 initially had a capacity of 2.5GB and was introduced in 1980. That was one of their most popular fixed disk drives for mainframes. They are...large. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
