Hardcards

[ASSEMbler]

I has a 20mb hardcard in my old xt, I sold it foolishly about ten years ago.

What's the biggest hardcard they made?

I also remember having a ram expansion board and
herculesm, which I upgraded to cga...

I had a Plus Development 105MB. There may be some larger than that, but I haven't seen one.

The largest I have heard in the concept (although it also adds RAM, and is a 32-bit microchannel adapter) is 340Mb: http://www.IBMMuseum.com/ohlandl/misc/kingston_dc.html#KTM-DC32 (the drive is a laptop IDE design, so there may be the possibility of it supporting an even bigger drive)...

I bought a near new 20meg hard card, it died after using it for 3 months, perhaps powered on for a few hours over that period of time.

I'm not sure but I think there are newer hardcards so the biggest one you find may not be 8-bit. Just as an FYI, I kinda recall having one in our 386. Not sure if I ever tried it in our Zenith 8088.

I have a 20 meg hard card if you would be interested; sale or trade.
