             ^^^^^^^^
It seems to be no error with `int' itself but with its operand[s].
Things like "int $0x16" work well for me; maybe you forgot the `$'?

I am not sure about speed, but using these facilities is the cleaner way,
because you should not use real-mode interrupts directly from protected
mode unless you are knowing exactly what you are doing.  ;-)
