We have a 16MB B10 with 945MB DASD on V3R1 (OS/400, Query, Dev Tools,
Comm Utilities, RPG, TCP/IP) and about 90% of the disk is gone. 
Response time isn't too bad once you're into a program, but it can get
REAL slow at times.

We have a 20MB C10 with 1270MB DASD running V3R2 (OS/400, Query, SQL,
Dev Tools, RPG, TCP/IP, OV/400, CA/400) and that uses up about 70% of
the disk.

(I don't suffer all day, also have a 32MB mod 200-2031 with 8GB of
DASD).
