I carried one to Hawaii in 1983. There was plenty of room for
it in the first class cabin (I wasn't paying for the ticket),
but there was LOTS of discussion about bringing it onboard.
The phrase "sewing machine" was used at least a dozen times.

That would be 20MB. There are no 506/412 interface 20G drives.
And even the 20M drives, other than aftermarket, weren't
available until the very end of that model.
And, until DOS 3.31, there wasn't support of having any partitions
larger than 32M.

If not, there was a version of Xenix that would work on it.
