C119!

wte:
Ok, as airship don't want...

Now my most favorite question:

Why is a C 128 out of the "first batch" basically only a C 119?

WTE

xlar54:
Wild stab at this one... since I couldnt find anything about a C119 commodore computer, my guess is that the first batch didnt actually have a full 128k, maybe due to a bug or something?

StyleCHM:
Broken MMU chip?

airship:
9K? I could see maybe how you could lose 8K, but 9K?!?

Hydrophilic:
I guess because writes to the upper memory (8K) in bank 1 would actually go to bank 0 (bug in the MMU) and because the common ram (1k) could not be disabled (common RAM configuration register not implemented).
