I was sticking to "rigid disk" storage. I started out with very slow 8" 
floppies for storage. 90KB?

I remember being very excited when we bought a dual 8" floppy drive pair for 
$2200, dual density, double sided. I've forgot who made them, but the 
standard at the time was worm drive controlled heads. The ones we bought 
were moved by magnetic heads (like a speaker). Ultra fast. (whatever that 
meant at the time.) The 5MB harddisk was a upgrade a year or two later.
