Yep. Question is what IBMer was the last to feature
it...
No idea
Another trivia question: did any other non-IBM *pc
compatibles* have a rom based BASIC...
I thought one clone had a pirate copy of the IBM ROMs inside (including
Microsoft BASIC) until IBM/Microsoft (wuite rightly) came down on them.
Wasn't there at least one other PC clone to have a legal ROM BASIC?
And...what was the first computer *any* to have a
rom-BASIC
HP9830? (end of 1972). Maybe some Wang machine?
FURTHERMORE...what was the last computer *any* to
have it?
Does anyone (Casio?) still make handheld BASIC programmable 'calculators'?
