   There's less free memory available in Disk BASIC, but seems unlikely these   
   BASIC programs are so big that it would matter.   
      
   It is loading into different RAM so maybe a RAM test is in order?  Still,   
   can't see how that would cause a failure to load.  That is, even if there were   
   bad RAM I'd think the program would load OK but wouldn't run properly.   
      
   Maybe there's some other device driver causing problems?   
      
   Only other thing I can think of is power problems.  But presumably the load   
   that works with the EI attached still has the disk drive attached so things   
   should be different.   
      
   Perhaps it would be easiest to avoid the problem by using Knut's wav2cas   
   program to copy the files onto a PC and then go by some other route to get the   
   files from the PC to the floppies.
