I guess it would be possible to have some kind of
terminal emulator
for the PC in 16K, one which talked directly to the NIC, but if so,
how would they have loaded it? From cassette? That seems implausible
to me but then I was not using PC tech in 1981. I was 13 and saving up
for my Sinclair Spectrum 48K. :?)
Yes, you'd load it from cassette--remember the built-in BASIC made
things quite a bit easier. In fact, the cassette-CGA card 16K machine
is shown in one of the (reddish-cover) manuals that came with the PC.
