I remember when:
- I had a _30_ MB (yes, that is megabyte) hard drive
- I used 5¼" 360 KB (yes, that is kilobyte) floppy disks
- I connected to _BBS_ with a 9600 baud modem

Got you beat.
30 MB external hard drive the size of a small desktop
160KB floppy (320 but you had to manually flip the disk)
2400 baud modem with nearly nothing to connect to.

Wow, yeah... my 30 MB hard drive still fit in a normal 5¼" drive bay.

Manually flip the floopy? Is that even a 5¼" floppy?

Yep. Single sided drive. You could use the other side of the disk by taking a paper punch & putting a notch in the side & flipping it over. Or spend more money on disks with the notch.
