There was advertised, at least in the UK, a disk expansion
(OSI 610) that included 12k disk BASIC on disk. From what
I remember if you got the fully populated expansion (24k)
and had the full complement of RAM on the CPU (8k) you had
19000 and something bytes free after loading the disk BASIC.

Now I've gone to the trouble of building the hardware I'd like
to try some original software on it.
