I hope somebody can help me in explaining this observation with a China-POST-card.
When sending a byte to port 80 with i.e.
mov al,66
out 80,al
The number "66" is displayed on the card when doing this in a 286+ PC. Thats what it should do.
But when trying the same on a 8088 XT nothing is displayed on the card. Why? For me there is no reason why this shouldnt work. I have tried this in many XTs and 286+. It doesnt work in any XT.
Its clear for me that nothing is displayed on the card during the startup of (most) XTs as its not implemented in BIOS, but this is another topic.
Somebody an idea?
