II. Objective
At the end of this session, the students must be
able to:
1.Familiarize with the Emulator 8086 and Input /
Output Operations
2.Use the DOS interrupt (INT 21H) function calls
to access the keyboard and video display;
3.Create assembly program using Input and
Output Operations
III. Theory
8086 Microprocessor Emulator, also known as
EMU8086, is an emulator of the program 8086
microprocessor. It is developed with a built-in 8086
assembler. This application is able to run programs
on both PC desktops and laptops. This tool is
primarily designed to copy or emulate hardware.
These include the memory of a program, CPU, RAM,
input and output devices, and even the display
screen.

There are instructions to follow when using this

emulator. It can be executed into one of the two ways:
backward or forward. There are also examples of
assembly source code included. With this, it allows
the programming of assembly language, reverse
engineering, hardware architecture, and creating
miniature operating system (OS).
The user interface of 8086 Microprocessor Emulator
is simple and easy to manage. There are five major

buttons with icons and titles included. These are
“Load”, “Reload”, “Step Back”, “Single Step”, and
“Run”. Above those buttons is the menu that includes
“File”, “View”, “Virtual Devices”, “Virtual Drive”, and
“Help”. Below the buttons is a series of choices that
are usually in numbers and codes. At the leftmost part
is an area called “Registers” with an indication of
either “H” or “L”. The other side is divided into two,
which enables users to manually reset, debug, flag,
etc.

6. Notice also the effects of the function calls 01H,
08H.
7. Write down all your conclusions.

LABORATORY ASSIGNMENT:
Write an assembly language program that prompts
you to enter a password of 3 characters in length.
The password should not be echoed to the screen.
The program then displays your name and ID
number on the screen. Submit your work at the end
of the lab.
Save your work as LABASS2.asm

IX. Discussion

Input and Output (I/O) in 8086 Assembly

Language
Each microprocessor provides instructions for I/O with
the devices that are attached to it, e.g. the keyboard
and screen. The 8086 provides the instructions in for
input and out for output. These instructions are quite
complicated to use, so we usually use the operating
system to do I/O for us instead.

The operating system provides a range of I/O

subprograms, in much the same way as there is an
extensive library of subprograms available to the C
programmer. In C, to perform an I/O operation,
 DE LA SALLE LIPA

LABORATORY EXPERIMENT MANUAL
we call a subprogram using its name to indicate its
operations, e.g. putchar(), printf(), getchar(). In
addition we may pass a parameter to the subprogram,
for example the character to be displayed by putchar()
is passed as a parameter e.g. putchar(c).

In assembly language we must have a mechanism to

call the operating system to carry out I/O.

In addition we must be able to tell the operating

system what kind of I/O operation we wish to carry
out, e.g. to read a character from the keyboard, to
display a character or string on the screen or to do
disk I/O.

X. Conclusion

In creating a program there are many functions to

be used to get the desired output. Each function
represents different effect, in the exercises given it
was determined that the 01H reads the input
characters and display it on the screen, the 02H and
06H display the characters, the 08H reads the input
characters but without displaying it on the screen,
09H display the characters that has a dollar sign at
the end and the 0AH reads the input characters.
