Oh, you mean that a0 i.e. stack pointer needs to have been corrupted
before cartridge code gets called.  I.e. TOS has corrupted it somehow,
or Uwe has some other program in AUTO which Pexec's NF_SCSI.PRG with
corrupted stack pointer?

(Sorry, I'm very rusty on asm, as I haven't written much of it myself
even back in 90's.)
