64kW of RAM @ a 4 byte (32-bit) word size, so 256KiB of actual RAM for the applications running on ilo.

For a reference, the 8088 build needs a bit more than that to account for stacks, the VM code, drivers, and memory needed for the actual hardware. (Around 384KiB physical RAM on an 8088/8086 works well from my testing, but I've tested with 285-320KiB in non-standard configurations under a few emulation targets).
