Gentlemen:
I would like to try some assembly programming to see if it can be made to run faster than the OUT command. I understand the assembly equivalent of OUT is:
MOV DX,
MOV AL, n
OUT DX, AL
But the article from which I got this doesn't define n, AL and I have no clear understanding of the above. What defines the Port, what defines the Data?
Also, is CALL ABSOLUTE needed? How should it be handled? The
information I have is vague and incomplete.
Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
