IIRC 64mb was the smallest amount of S/34 DASD.  They had the piccolo drives
that later were the base internal drive in the S/38.  You could get one or
two in the original S/34.  I started with 128mb/128kb system, then had to
get the expansion chassis and panels and grow to 256mb/256kb system.  Ran a
$4M property and casualty insurance company on it.  24 years ago.  Great
system in its day, but...  Still one running, eh?  I see an IBM
commercial... Too bad IBM doesn't.
