So simplify, and try not loading everything at once. Use SET
TAKE DEBUG ON to see what happens as Take files are loaded, though
the screen may zoom too quickly. And the take files will use conventional
memory to be stored unless your system has extended memory available
(which 808x machines do not provide).
Added bonus: Did MSK crash? Nope. Did it die otherwise? Nope.
Did it keep on going? Yup. That's not an accident.

Beg to differ. 64KB buys little room to do "big" things.
