That ain't nuttin'. We started with an 11/45 with 48KB of core memory and 2 RK05's (2.2MB removable cartridge disks).
Ha! At FAU the engineering department had a Data General Nova with only 8KB of core memory, and an ASR-33 TTY with a paper tape attachment as the only I/O device :-).
Had one of those in my first job. The OS was so terrible the guy I worked for wrote his own multitasking kernel for it, which we used for one of the first computer typesetting systems (Cambridge University Press 1972 :-) All done in BCPL (ancestor of C).
