tqwhite, 1 month ago @lauren We used Control Data Corp disks. 300MB. Size of a small washing machine. $35k in 1980 dollars. I used a PDP 11/45 with 128k words of core memory. On fun day, I wrote the OS (RSX11/M) onto paper tape. It booted up and was very fun to see it 'seeking' on the tape. One day we got a 600MB disk. It was like a miracle. Good old days.
