Ahhh ... A dim memory fog rises... Yeah as an assembly programmer (from minicomputer days through x286) there was an issue with the flags, x86 to x80, I can recall and won't look up.

PUSH PSW

Pushed the accumulator (A, 8 bits) and program status word (flags like carry, etc) at once and there were side effects too boring to recall. Ugh glad the good old days are gone who needs that shit!
