There's no way to reclaim the 576k, as it's used to hold the Yaroze libraries as well as the monitor and terminal program code. What programs are you looking at? If they appear to load at 0x80010000 they are probally full commercial programs that have their libraries linked in with the code. Cheers, Colin.
