fasm can compile for 8086 CPUs also.

if so why no Mov cs,ax

I've read pop cs worked on the 8086 (the opcode 0x0F was later recycled for other instructions, as a kind of prefix, for example for SIMD instructions), not sure about mov cs,reg. It will be difficult to find a 8086 to test it Smile
If it works, fasm should be modified to assemble it...

At that time you know transistors just few so I think the maker won't let the instruction not to work as it disobey the rule

In this thread in another forum, there is a guy with access to these old cpu's saying that it works:

sergey wrote:
I actually tested POP CS and MOV CS,reg/mem some time ago. All 8088 processors and NEC V20 execute these instructions as unconditional JMP - CS is changed with the new value, IP is advanced to the next instruction. This includes Intersil 80C88 for which the datasheet specifically says that "MOV CS, REG/MEMORY not allowed." (page 36). And by the way it doesn't say anything about POP CS (page 29 of the same datasheet).

Okay - 8088 is not really 8086. Wink

And do you have a mother board with a socket for 8086 ?
EGA or CGA adapter ?
I think this is retro stuff. Cool

I think a video adapter is not needed. Just an LED would be enough. Program an EPROM/FLASH chip with a simple test program to check whether mov cs,ax is successful and turn on/off the LED accordingly.

Is this maybe more a plain academic approach ? Razz

So, lets see... A 8086 CPU, a breadboard, programmable ROM with test program, needs to be 16 bit interface, a MCU to feed signals to the 8086 under controlled conditions... Not gonna be easy... Wink

Or buy a vintage 8086 system, I think I may get a Sinclair PC200 for 50€. I will try to get it Cool if its working 100%.

Then a floppy drive with DOS, and we are game Wink

Still I found samples of 8086 in Proteus

You're right, I wonder if it is an 100% accurate simulation.

Also, here is a macro to assemble mov cs, by first assembling mov es and then modify it.

Code:
        macro   mov     dest, src {
                if dest eq cs
                        recode = $+1
                        mov     es, src
                        ;read original opcode
                        load a byte from recode
                        ;convert es to cs
                        store byte a or 8 at recode
                else
                        mov     dest, src
                end if
        }


update:

Well, already tested on Proteus simulation and it works. Here is my test program:

Code:
        macro   mov     dest, src {
                if dest eq cs
                        recode = $+1
                        mov     es, src
                        ;read original opcode
                        load a byte from recode
                        ;convert es to cs
                        store byte a or 8 at recode
                else
                        mov     dest, src
                end if
        }


j1:     mov     ax,1
        mov     cs,ax
        jmp     near j1
        align   16
j2:     mov     ax,0
        mov     cs,ax
        jmp     near j2


I loaded at entry point CS:IP = 0000:0000 and it toggles between the 2 cycles, as expected Wink kind of crazy.

I wonder if United States has a new currency or do you mean the United States more near to Europe with the Tower Bridge ? Wink

from memory i think the intel books say that mov cs, reg or mov cs, [mem] not allowed. You can push pop segment addresses into cs. also look at lds, les instructions
