As most of modern debuggers like IDA, Oledbg and Windbg seems to fail in debugging old 16 bit COM files. I began researching on different debuggers available today to debug those 16 bit executables ( I am refering to COM files here )
While, doing my research I found a list of debuggers that are available these days to debug 8086 programs. Some of them are listed below
There was another debugger that I couldn't find on the internet and that I used when I wrote my first 8086 assembly program in my university. It is Advance Full Screen Debug a.k.a AFD.

- TR - ( no official link available + shareware)
- grdb - Kind of an enhanced version of debug.exe ( discontinued after Windows XP )
- Insight - The one with the most user friendly interface
