| The only possibiity is that the code you just showed is not
| being executed. Absolute location 0x100 is not being overwritten
| by some timer-tick (normally) so whatever you write there should
| remain. You just put a byte of 1 in that location and then
| you compared against a byte of 1. If the CPU was broken, you
| wouldn't have even loaded your code.
Could possibly be that DS (seg register) is altered between
the store and the comparison...

| FYI, you can check the progress of your code by 'printing' on
| the screen. Set up ES to point to the screen segment, and write
| letters there:
|
| movw $0xb800, %ax
| movb %ax, %es
| movb $'A', %es:(0)
|
| This 'prints' an 'A' at the first location on the screen.
