WAIT Wait Flags: Not altered
WAIT
WAIT suspends execution of CPU instructions until the BUSY# pin is
inactive (high). The BUSY# pin is driven by the 80x87 numeric
processor extension.
Coding WAIT after an ESC instruction ensures that any unmasked
floating-point exceptions the instruction may cause are handled
before the processor has a chance to modify the instruction's
results (80486).
