Another possibility could be self-modifying mode, something somewhere else
could be writing over this code once it's running. Though that would be
assuming it's in RAM. Though the code around these instructions seems
confusing. Looking at the values it almost looks like it's ASCII text and
not actual code data. I see numbers in the 0x40 and 0x60 range which are
the ASCII lowercase and uppercase letters. Along with 0x20 which is a
space. Perhaps try interpreting the data as data instead of code?

Hi folks,
Any 8085 assembler geeks in the house?
Official Intel docs don't seem to be helping with this one, I have 8085 and
D8741A peripheral controller dumps both containing several opcodes that two
disassemblers aren't recognising and any docs I've been looking through for
either 8085 instructions or the UPI instruction set don't seem to feature
them either.
The codes are 0x08, 0x10, 0x18, 0x28, 0x38,0xD9, 0xDD and 0xED.
0x08 nearly always follows a 0x01 LXI B instruction, the others don't seem
to have an obvious pattern.
I've pondered if 0x10 is INC @R0 because the binary for that is 0001 000x
where x is either 0 or 1.
By the same reasoning 0xD9 could be XRL A,R1 (opcode 11011xxx) and 0xDD
could be XRL A,R5 but can't match the others. Also the surrounding code
doesn't mention those registers.
