MUL source

          Logic:    AX . source * AL             ; if source is a byte
               or
                    DX:AX = source * AX          ; if source is a word

    MUL performs unsigned multiplication. If source is a byte, MUL
    multiplies source by AL, returning the product in AX. If source is a
    word, MUL multiplies source by AX, returning the product in DX:AX. The
    Carry and Overflow flags are set if the upper half of the result (AH
    for a byte source, DX for a word source) contains any significant
    digits of the product, otherwise they are cleared.
