Apple 1 BASIC was under 4K. Apple ][ Integer BASIC is a slightly improved
version and is under 5K.

Neither has floating point, so perhaps they don't meet your definition
of "reasonable".

There's also an 8K*8 EPROM in a 24 pin DIP, the Motorola 68764. Also
the 68766, I don't recall what the difference was. They never were as
cheap as the 2764, and now they've gotten somewhat hard to find.
