There are a pot load of BASICs on the net in source form.  

One can be found on the Dave's old Computers [Dave Dunfield].  Others are
around try looking for LLL Basic.  Tinybasic is a good one really despite 
appearances as it was from my memory romable [There were several different ones].

Get back with what you find.  I do have LLL and a version of PT 5K basics in my 
archive and I got them off the net.
