For such a simple well defined case, what about using BCD?

I haven't looked at the archives but why not take the original number, turn it into BCD in two bytes and return the lower nibble of the upper byte and the upper nibble of lower byte as a one byte BCD answer which is then turned back into a normal number?

And of course a 9999 EOF marker. :-)

For some background take a look at a brief tutorial I posted last year:
