He didn't have 16MB of RAM in 1983! I'm sure he meant to say 16KB. There wasn't even a home OS (or processor with sufficient address lines) in 1983 that would have known what to do with 16MB.

I know lol. My Commodore 64, Apple IIc and Intel 8088 had nowhere near 16MB.

The IBM PC of 1981 only had 16K of RAM. In 1983 the IBM PC XT had 128KB of RAM, 360KB floppy and 10MB hard drive. In 1986 the IBM PC XT Model 286 had 640KB of RAM, 1.2MB floppy drive and 20MB hard drive.
