AAM

          Logic:    AH . AL / 10
                    AL . AL MOD 10

    This instruction corrects the result of a previous multiplication of
    two valid unpacked BCD operands. A valid 2-digit unpacked BCD number
    is taken from AX, the adjustment is performed, and the result is
    returned to AX. The high-order nibbles of the operands that were
    multiplied must have been 0 for this instruction to produce a correct
    result.

       Note:          Unpacked BCD stores one digit per byte; AH contains
                      the most-significant digit and AL the least-
                      significant digit.
