Based on AAM using CORD for the division operation will D4 00 generate the same division by zero error as a DIV with a zero divisor? (I can’t think of any reason this would be useful but I do like thinking about edge cases and how things break.)

I am always amazed how many tech orientated people don't use any kind of ad blocking
Having AdBlock extension, but like all my extensions also have "This can read and change site data > when you click the extension" while turn on to any domain that "misbehave" with sticky ads, videos or whatever annoying flashing things. Otherwise I'm just hurting content creators for no good reason. I would not enable an extension on any domain i input my email, password, or otherwise have sensitive private informat…
It's less about the content creators and more about supporting a system / business model that isn't really sustainable and reliant on business practices that distract and in many cases actively harm consumers. Most content creators have Patreon profiles or some similar service for taking donations in a structured and community-driven way, why don't you use an adblocker and donate there?

I'm the same with LDA immediate = A9 in 6502 machine code, from my C64 days. It's disturbing how strongly burned-in those neurons are ...
Aside: If you are writing stuff this good (and this niche) I would say ditch the ads. They really will turn off the audience you want to attract. Or at least use one of the developer-focused ad networks that just inline ads not pop them up.
What ads? Didn't seen any ads when visiting the page. Are you browsing the web without uBlock Origin by any chance?

I’m on iOS and the ad was unobtrusive. I’m very happy to support Ken. Unless the ads are more disruptive on other platforms I’d say leave ‘em in.
1. Either they block the ad, in which case no revenue anyway.
2. Or they don't block it and it looks like an ad ridden site at first glance, so makes some people kneejerk close it.

My transistor-level simulator shows that the 8086 will generate a divide by 0 interrupt if you give the AAM instruction a divisor of 0. But I haven't tried this on a real chip.

Unless you were about to donate a few pennies to the author, I'm not sure "freeloaders" is the audience they were aiming for.

Another factor though is for tech people: 1. Either they block the ad, in which case no revenue anyway. 2. Or they don't block it and it looks like an ad ridden site at first glance, so makes some people kneejerk close it.
