(That's what I have - but I have no idea what was typical)
IIRC, you could get a "bare" 5150 with 16K if you were lucky, but the IBM
diskette-equipped ones all had 64K AFAIK.
BTW, here's a link to the BBC WS programme:

Strange that the program doesn't even mention the BBC PC. Maybe the Beeb
doesn't want to be reminded.
