I think you might be off by a few years at least, a 40MB drive in 1982 would’ve been incredibly uncommon.

Idk man.
In the 1980s 8-inch drives used with some mid-range systems increased from a low of about 30 MB in 1980, to a top-of-the-line 3 GB in 1989.

Seems like 30MB wasn’t horribly uncommon in “mid-range systems” in 1980, so I doubt that 40MB in 1982 would’ve been “incredibly uncommon.”
But I’ve no personal experience from the time.

“Mid-range systems” is not referring to personal computers. “8-inch drives” is another clue.
