Found this artifact.
Who wants to see how it is inside?

@S-Homles-MD You probably right.

Read 2.1Gb but I never had such a device, and this looks like the first one that came with the 286.

It won't say anywhere the real memory but most likely is a 40mb, big and ugly as it is...

Bronze screws, m3 x 12mm... Interesting.

@GyroGearloose
Also this was standard with early pentium II, not 286 😀

That's a huge disk

@nbamaral well if it's 2gb I would agree. But 40mb for a pentium 2?

Bah, he's dead...

Saw some funny sparks and smoke.

Not me?🤷‍♂️

I think I was 4 or 5 when I first saw this.

@GyroGearloose
Was it 40mb!??
Those caviar used to be 2gb, never seen anything smaller
40mb corresponds to the 386sx era.
Not sure if 286 came with ide disk i

Well, the disk is so old that it didn't have space written unless it was really 2.1Gb. that's the only number I found that could correspond to space...

And I believe it is so, I remember the 500mb being small and bulky, but I don't remember how the 286 looked like, although I still have most of the pieces...

But also, it's so weird to see such a big HD.
