- Dylan16807 11y agoWell, I'm just summarizing. > "DOS 1.0 required a minimum of 32KB, so we weren't concerned about attempting a boot in 16KB." > (Note: DOS 1.0 required 16KiB minimum ? or 32KiB ? I couldn't find out which correct. But, at least, in 1981's early BIOS development, they supposed that 32KiB is DOS minimum requirements.)
- yuhong 11y agoThere are different configs of IBM PC, the cheapest which relied on the ROM BASIC and cassette tape.
- Dylan16807 11y agoRight, but we're worried here about the ones booting DOS, while they were designing this.
