Plus Development Hardcard (1985)
A 10 MB hard disk that was just a card you plugged into a slot.
The Hardcard put a drive on an ISA card that took one slot and needed no cabling or controller setup. PC Magazine said installing it was barely harder than a multifunction card. It sold at $1,095 and brought hard disks to ordinary PC owners.
