There is a world of difference between 82 and 86 ASM.  The 86 not only has ROM
pages but also RAM pages, which the 82 doesn't.  There are different ROM calls
and memory addresses, as well as a different screen size and method of writing
to the screen.  Also, TI doesn't support ASM on the 82 so less is known about
the ROM and built-in functions.  Other than that, they both use the same
processor so the raw programming is identical
