Thanks for the code. I can not convert it one by one, because the DRSYS div32 procedure also returns the remainder, but I get the idea...

However, for now I decided to leave the shifting algorithm as it is, mainly because it is a code path not often taken, and i want to fix more things than I break :-D

The div32 procedure is mainly called with 512 as the divisor (to calculate sectors and offsets into the FAT). So 99% of the time, the optimized 16-bit shortcut is used, I guess.

The current version is here:
https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/blob/8fa1acd6576...9fd7f283a9119e3494036ce7/drdos/bdevio.a86#L2029

It should yield correct results (kernel behaves as expected). But perhaps someone with more assembly experience might double-check (from div32_full on it is the original code).
