I'm pretty sure you still had GWBasic in ROM. Indeed, that was one of the 
reasons people wanted a "real" IBM PC and not just a "compatible" - you 
could build the same hardware, but you couldn't include the GWBasic ROMs, so 
code that called into the ROMs (for things like trigonometric functions etc) 
wouldn't work on a "clone" at first. (Or was it "QuickBasic"?)
