Ok I can't beat 10mhz
My first was a 66mhz AST computer (an AST Advantage Adventure! 4066d
from 1994), with 8mb of EDO ram and it looked like a mac.
It was stupid how it had a Hard Disk of 512mb but had a 4x CD-ROM drive
- so the physical hard disk _couldn't_ hold as much as the CD's going in
to it!
I still have one of these, recently got one off eBay and also organized
to take over the AST Research support web site (since they've gone bump
well back in 1999)...
www.ari-service.com
Any other AST users out there? :D
Sincerely...

166MHz! Luxury!
I went ZX81 -> Spectrum 16K -> Spectrum 48K -> Spectrum +2 -> CPC 464
Then sold that and got a PC
Epson PC-AT with a 5.25" drive and an 8086 CPU running at 10MHz iirc. It had
a 10MB hard disk and mono text only screen.
Happy days.
Cheers,
Al.
