The so-called extended memory extensions have been widely understood to be a waste of time. The basic PALASM creates an output file in each module, then loades the next module and loads the previous module as its input file, generating yet another output file for use by the next of the umpteen modules. Back in the 8 MHz '286 days, when hard disks had a random seek time of about 40 ms, it was somewhat tedious waiting for the process to complete, so I was very disappointed by the AMD admission that their "extended memory" version didn't work. However, once it was combined with a "ramdisk" and used that as the default drive (I had a batch file that pretty quickly loaded all the executables into a ramdisk and ran everything there.) much of the tedium went away. Today's machines make that irrelevant.

Keep in mind that the PALASM simulations are "functional." That means that they're not timing simulations. They do show you sort of a waveform, though, and that often is enough.
