Old 386 and 486 code was really easy. I also got lost around the Pentium era as well. At the time, it was getting really hacky to work through extended and expanded memory while also learning to work with 32bit registers.
At the time, correctly or not, I just felt I was learning to navigate a bunch of architecture bandaids and not anything that was going to be static for the next few years. I just kinda put it aside, TBH.
ASM is still useful for MCUs at times and developing that feels like the good ol days…
