You heard wrong. You **CAN NOT** run 85S assembly programs on a TI-86. It
just won't work, due to all of the differences in the ROMs between the two
calculators.

TI-86 ASM programs should be in 86P format, not 86S format. The program
you're running is most likely ZPong for the TI-85 with the name changed. It
won't work.
