The IBM BASIC ROMs require a bit more research. I'm a little unclear on the precise history of the BASIC ROMs and
exactly which version shipped with each IBM PC machine revision.
The project currently includes only two BASIC ROM versions, 1.00 and 1.10, which were initially released with the
first model 5150 and 5160 machines, respectively. However, I've also read reports that later revisions of the model
5150 included BASIC ROM 1.10 as well.
The project currently includes only two BASIC ROM versions, C1.00 and C1.10, which were initially released with the
first model 5150 and 5160 machines, respectively. For more details, see [IBM PC ROMs](/devices/pc/rom/).
I believe there was also a BASIC ROM version 1.20 released for IBM PCjr, but since PCjs does not yet emulate the PCjr,
it has not been added to the project.
