My first PC was an original IBM PC XT, with 640kb of RAM.

A friend taught me how to use a device driver (ramdisk.sys I think it was) to split that into two, and use 320kb of RAM as a "fast" hard drive.

I will install games there, and play with only 320kb or RAM (actually less because DOS used some RAM).

I had a 20MB Seagate HDD. 20 Megabytes.

Nice times.
