     cmp bx,WORD ptr[time]
     je delay2
     jmp delay
 delay2:
     inc dx
     cmp dx,WORD ptr[time2]
     je delay3
     jmp delay

Did you just make a new account and ask *exactly* the same question as you did 10 minutes ago? With no more information? BOOO. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3016438 — Carl Norum, Jun 10 '10 at 17:07
We need a lot more information if you want an answer - what architecture? What OS or environment? What code do you have already and what about it doesn't work? — Carl Norum, Jun 10 '10 at 17:09
edit your post to add the code. The unformatted mess in the comment is useless. — Carl Norum, Jun 10 '10 at 17:13

Why don't you insert special NO-OP instructions? Or you can calculate a delay by inserting a branch instruction that is always mispredicted a certain number of times and multiplying that with the branch penalty of your architecture. That can be accurate +- 1 cycle.
