Yep, my first PC machine was the IBM PC1 with 640K of RAM, two full-height
5"1/4 floppies and monochrome display.
Later I substituted one of the floppies with a half-height one, and added
a 32MB Seagate hard disk (ST-238), these are still laying somewhere in the
lab.
The IBM PC diagnostics were all on a 5"1/4 floppy, I still have the manual
and the floppy.
