CBW

        Logic   if AL < 80h
                   AH ← 0
                else
                   AH ← FFh
                endif

    CBW converts the signed byte in the AL register to a signed word
    in AX by extending the most significant bit (the sign bit) of AL
    into all of the bits of AH.

    Note
    The 32-bit form of CBW is CWDE.
