YT is notoriously bad with FOSSIL drivers. Has to do with how the author wrote the I/O routines. For that reason I use DOSBox-X to run it on my board. Running it by itself will almost always lead to the crashes you described. I wrote a lengthy write-up about my setup here:

It's been one of my top doors for the last two years, crash-free!
