This reminds me of C64 tape loaders or "turboa" that need to load the program to RAM.

Also let's not forget Bill Gates's 17 bytes loader

Anyone else remember the PET Rabbit [1]?

"Load, Save, Verify, Execute 8 K in 38 seconds versus PETs 2 Minute 45 seconds, plus more!"

There was a newer version that I had which was called the ROM Rabbit vs. this version that you had to load and save each time.
