I'm trying to build a kernel that has Eric Roskos' generic BIOS disk
driver in it.  Part of that process is to convert his MASM version of
klib88.asm back into something that asld can grok.  I'm having trouble
figuring out when to use '*' and when to use '#' in front of tokens.
From some study of the disassembler that was recently posted, I infer
that '#' implies a 2-byte operand and '*' implies a 1-byte operand, but
this does not appear to be consistent with the usage in the 1.1 klib88.s
sources.  Clearly, I am lacking in understanding.  Can anyone explain
the operand syntax of asld for me?

Thanks!

Paul Allen
