[net.micro] magic 8086 instruction

Boebert@hi-multics.arpa (01/09/86)

Anybody know what the "magic instruction" (op code D6) in the 8086 does?
This is an undocumented instruction whose cover was blown in the 30 Dec
issue of Electronic News (in the article about the Intel/NEC suit).

This instruction clears the low order byte of the accumulator and
does not cause an invalid instruction trap on a 286.
