If the 16-bit NASM uses 186+ instructions, that's a bug (or possibly wrong option?) on the part of the compiler. I also worked some on an 8086tiny fork of mine recently. There are several bugfixes there, as well as implementing all 186 instructions, so it might be worth testing. It's at https://github.com/ecm-pushbx/8086tiny/ > Even other NASM versions had > issues.
