128K ROM's and 1 Meg of Memory are the minimum configuration for the
QuickBasic compiler (this includes 512Ke's with third party 1 meg memory
upgrades), basically a plus and higher cos the compiler needs the memory.

Unlike the PC World, where configurations may be listed on the box as
requiring a 286 (often times the software will run on an 8088, but really
sucks mud), the Macintosh configurations are considered correct as stated
as an absolute minimum.. trust the box!
