It was an Amiga 500 upgraded to Kickstart 2.04 and ECS. 1084S monitor and external 1011 floppy disk drive. I had the 512K trapdoor expansion so had 1MB RAM total. I also had just purchased a used sidecar 100MB SCSI hard drive (I think it was a Trumpcard drive). I also had a SupraModem 2400.
I remember that I used Jr-Comm (a terminal program) to log into the University's mainframe VAX computer and read the Usenet messages in the days just before Commodore was about to go bankrupt. There were all sorts of dreadful rumours flying there about the impending bankruptcy....was Commodore going to live or die? As the days passed we all watched nervously as the news leaked that Commodore really did go bankrupt. It was a suspensful and sad week, watching that happen.
