Is the INS8073 the one that has a Tiny BASIC built-in

Yes.
Is it a Tom Pittman type Tiny BASIC ? Thanks.
How does one tell?
It's in 2.5KB of ROM, so it's definitely a tinier BASIC than in the
competing Intel 8051AH-BASIC and Zilog Z8671, both of which had 4KB of ROM.
National called it "NIBL BASIC", although it is unclear how closely
related the 8073 version is to their NIBL BASIC for the SC/MP, SC/MP II,
or 8080.
