Just an Idea... translate MS-DOS to excel-asm16 #4

Asm source publicly available. Need to translate MS-DOS from asm to excel-asm16.

This "translator" would in theory allow any 16bit asm application to run.

excel-asm16 would need at minimum a stack to facilitate CALL, RET, PUSH, and POP operations. based on @InkboxSoftware's youtube video, I don't think a stack would be too much, it could start at $EFFF and would require an index register.

once you get around that though, then you have interrupts to deal with, and the fact that this runs at 3Hz...
