Remanence of the PC computing past: Intel MCS-86 Assembly Language Reference Guide on bitsavers.org in http://bitsavers.org/pdf/intel/8086.
Intel MCS-86 is/was the 16-bit range of x86 processors.
I used it in BASM (not only in Delphi 1 and up, it started in Turbo Pascal 6), and before that in MASM, NASM, and TASM.

The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff

Back then it was easy to understand what was happening. Today it’s like pitching a tent on a sponge.

And a notable mention to those of us who bashed in .Com files via debug!

The instruction set is basically still the same – although registers got larger, their use freer, and optimizations far trickier. And sure, you have all the new (and complex) SSE instructions. And handcoded assembly is still useful, sometimes.

Agreed. That sometimes has decreased to about once or twice a year. But being able to read disassembled code is something I use far more often.
