+# Largest BASIC programs
+
+To experimentally discover the size of the largest possible tokenized
+BASIC program on a Model T computer, use a host computer to send a
+program line-by-line over the serial port to be tokenized.
+
+* On Tandy 200:
+  ```BASIC
+  ?fre(0)
+   19334
+  load "com:98n1enn"
+  ```
+* On UNIX host:
+  ```bash
+  $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 icanon ixon ixoff stop ^S start ^Q susp undef eof ^Z
+  $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 onlcr icrnl -echo 19200 pass8 -cstopb
+  $ ./lorem.sh 19214 > /dev/ttyUSB0 && echo -n $'\cZ'  >/dev/ttyUSB0
+  ```
+
+On a Tandy 200, with the default of 19334 bytes free, a BASIC program
+of <= 19214 bytes works, but >= 19215 gives an `?OM Error`. It
+seems **120 bytes** are needed to parse a line of BASIC. 
+
+Note that after loading such a program, commands like `?fre(0)` and
+`clear` will die with an out of memory error. In fact, while the
+program can be `RUN` after loading it over the serial port, even just
+`SAVE`ing the program will cause it to fail to RUN with an `?OM Error`!
+
+Running `CLEAR 136` (which frees 120 characters compared to the
+default of 256) gives 19454 bytes free on a Tandy 200. The maximum
+lorem BASIC program then becomes 19454 - 120 = 19334 bytes.
+
+The maximum possible filesize can be achieved by running `CLEAR 0`,
+which on the Tandy 200 gives 19590 bytes free. Again, the maximum
+lorem BASIC program I'm able to transmit is 19590 - 120 = 19470 bytes.
+Of course, with zero bytes of string space reserved, no useful program
+can be run.
+
+| Model     | Max Bytes Free | Max tokenized BASIC filesize |
+|-----------|----------------|------------------------------|
+| Model 100 |                |                              |
+| Tandy 200 | 19,588         | 19,470                       |
+| Tandy 102 |                |                              |
