Here's one I've never run into, oddly enough. IBM PCs 5150 throrugh 5170
had the BASIC ROM and BASIC.EXE and BASICA.EXE included with PC-DOS through
4.0 just jump to the code on the ROM.
Later models (PS/2s) still have the Cassette BASIC, but don't seem to be
able to run the PC-DOS BASICs. Did IBM break the BASIC ROM after the 5170
model?
