Unfortunately, working with the second screen is not implemented at the system level, but there is still an opportunity to use it, but when using it you will have to install IM1
(what if there is some kind of player in it). The bank with the second screen
is located in the commander at number 5, before using it
you need to save itcontent. In the next version I
will try to come up with something, for example, I will make it so that the bank
with the second screen cannot be reserved.

The module for playing a muse sets a bank
from TKARD every interruption. In general, it is not recommended to go directly to the memory management ports (unless of course it is a memory driver) otherwise a bunch of glitches will arise. Is it possible to switch
the current screen via #7ffd, only the bank must be turned on
pre-installed via ONPAGE.

Such a feature is not yet available is provided.

I will try to solve all these problems in version 2.1

Naturally ;)
