If that is true, it's a severe bug in a ROM TOS (MiNT doesn't have that
problem, right?) and can be solved by a small TSR which sits in TRAP whatever
and saves that register.

However, if have that feeling that your problem was a misbehaving TSR, as
I never heard of that problem.

Anyway, no reason not to use any of the adress registers which are
documented to be preserved.
