On another note, at one point my 4P failed to read from

have any ROM in it. Where could these prompts and an
apparently functioning BASIC come from?
If I remember correctly (unrefreshed dynamic wet-ware), IFF you
responded to those two prompts, THEN you got the BASIC, with the
[cassette BASIC] version number. Did you actually GET BASIC after you
responded to them??
Just took some time to duplicate it. Answered the "Cass?" prompt.
Entered 0 for the "Memory" prompt. Got BASIC. Typed PRINT MEM and
PRINT FRE(0). Returned 48K. Anybody have any idea where that is
coming from?
