Chapter 2: The 8086/8088 Microprocessors

More Points to Ponder

I. Identification

1. What is the highest address in the 8088’s memory address space? (in hex)

2. What is the lowest address in the 8088’s memory address space? (in hex)

3. The contents of memory location 12724h is 1Fh and that at 12725h is 10h. What is the even-
addressed data word stored at address 12724h?

4. Show how the double word 12345678h will be stored in memory, starting at address 1ABCDh.

5. How much of the 8088’s active memory is available as general-purpose data storage memory?

6. What would be the value of the status flags after this operation: 4Ah + 2Ch?

7. What would be the value of the status flags after this operation: 02h + FEh?

8. If the current values in the code segment register and the instruction pointer are 1234h and 5678h,
respectively, what is the physical address of the next instruction?

9. A data segment is to be located from address D0000h to DFFFFh. What value must be loaded to DS?

10. If the data segment register contains the value found in problem 9, what value must be loaded to DI if
it is to point to a destination operand stored at address D1234h in memory?
