Ok
Here goes with using your idea to double use the a register. Except
If I start it with 2, I can use the carry instead of the sign bit. What fun!
Div10:
ld a,#2
ld de,#-640d
divloop:
add hl,de
jr c, div1
sbc hl,de
div1:
rl a
jr nc,divloop
add hl,hl
ret
Oops!! I blew it. I forgot an 'add hl,hl' !!!!!!$$$####
Here is the change using the sign bit instead. Still saves time and cycles
by not needing the DJNZ. One less cycle per loop. The and at the end
balances the ld B#7 but the ld a, #1 is one more byte. Still the jp
is faster than the jr for the 7 loops. Still 19 bytes!
div10:
ld a,#1
ld de,#-640d
divloop:
add hl,de
jr c,div1
sbc hl,de
div1:
rl a
add hl,hl
jp p,div1
add hl,hl
and #7F
ret
