If I load a

whole of AX seems to still appear on the data bus, something like:
MOV AX,055AAh
OUT 022,AL
It looks like to me that the whole of AX is actually getting put out,
No big deal.
I assume that was the 80186.
How was the timing of the 80188? (did it also try to do anything with
AH?)
Yep 80186, dunno about the 188, I alas don't have one to test it on...
I wasn't actually supprised by the behavior...just wondered if anyone
had noticed it before :)
Cheers.
