I tried to submit this via the email to tech support page but it gave me a 500 error. I have a hard time believing that I am the only person this has happened to, but clearly this is a compiler bug in Keil 8051 version 7.5 compiler. I hope that someone can get this to the correct person at Keil.

And by normal math rules, a number divided by 0 is ALWAYS 0, so it worked just fine on the intel code.
NO. It is NEVER zero. Not in a million years.
Presuming one insists on allowing it at all, then by normal math rules a (non-zero) number divided by zero is infinity. Coming from that point of view, it's actually SiLabs that came closer to getting this right, here, by giving you the closest thing to infinity that fits into an 8-bit unsigned result: 255.
Silabs *should* have certainly documented what would happen in the instruction description.
They did, by specifying that the behaviour is undefined. Which is essentially the standard technical legalese rendition of your mom yanking your back from the stove and yelling at you: "Do not do that!"
