[edit] Summary

A simulated screenshot of 86-DOS running Seattle Computer Product's assembler and HEX2BIN conversion tool, as supplied with 86-DOS in 1981.

The programs were run under MS-DOS 2 via MESS (in order to take the screenshot) and the prompt was changed to the version found in 86-DOS.

Under PC DOS 1.1 the output is identical, other than the prompt (which is hardcoded to display a '>' sign rather than a colon.) PC DOS 1.1 is effectively MS-DOS 1.24, which itself was little changed from MS-DOS 1.14 aka 86-DOS 1.14. Thus, it's safe to say this is what the output would look like under 86-DOS itself.

Screenshot provided for historical interest.
