Good grief! Indeed, the minimum IBM PC was 16K! ("Pricing started at US$1,565
(equivalent to $4,073 in 2015) for a configuration with 16K RAM, Color Graphics
Adapter, and no disk drives." --

I think there's at best a great deal of "faulty memory" here. Something was
nagging, so I just did a bit of research. COMMAND.COM in the late 80s was way
smaller than 65K.
