The entire area where all eight sprite blocks reside starts at memory
location 3584 ($0E00) and ends at location 4095 ($0FFF). Figure 6-9
lists the memory address ranges where each individual sprite stores
its data.

Figure 6-9. Memory Address Ranges for Sprite Storage
BSAVE Once you exit from the SPRDEF mode, you can
save our sprite data in binary sprite files. This
way, you can load any collection of sprites back
into the Commodore 128 neatly and easily. Use
this command to save your sprite data into a
binary file:
BSAVE "filename", BO, P3584 TO P4096
The binary filename is a name you give to the file. The "BO" specifies
that you are saving the sprite data from bank 0. The parameters
"P3584 TO P4096" signify you are saving the address range 3584
($0E00) through 4095 ($0FFF), which is the range where all.the sprite
data is stored.
You do not have to define all of the sprites when you BSAVE them.
The sprites you do define are BSAVEd from the correct sprite block.
The undefined sprites are also BSAVEd in the binary file from the
appropriate sprite block, but they do not matter to the computer. It is
