That is not the problem. The problem is that the BIOS in version 0.9.4 fails to set DS to its data segment if it encounteres an an unsupported function

But it writes to it at https://github.com/skiselev/8088_bios/blob/6da84ae09804002ae29080cd64dc85e58f46ae9f/floppy2.inc#L128

In later versions that seems to be handled differently, an the current binary for Xi8088 seems to work under 86box.
