base:short_8bit_multiplication_16bit_product

Short 8bit * 8bit = 16bit multiply

A small multiplication routine using the ancient egyptian multiplication algorithm. Factors should be stored in the FAC1 and FAC2 variables, the product can be found in Akku (high byte) and the X-Register (low byte). FAC1 will be destroyed. No tables required.

FAC1     = $58
FAC2     = $59

        ; A*256 + X = FAC1 * FAC2
