Memory and Addressing - Solutions
1.
1. A227: EDE0 normalised is B1050 which is in VID RAM
2. 725072 bytes above the base of memory
3. 708 Kb
2.
1.48.5Kb = 49664 bytes = C200 bytes
so the address of the last byte is 60FEC + C200 = 6D1E0
2. 6D1E0 = 446956 bytes = 436.4 Kb
3.
1. F233B
2. E998F
3. 010E8
4. CB06C
4.
1. 90EC1 - 0F44B = 81A76 = 531062 bytes = 518Kb
2. 62539 bytes = 61Kb
5.
the address bus limits the size of the address that can be transmitted.
By dividing up the address into a segment and an offset, and sending them
separately through the address bus, we effectively allow access to LARGE sections
of memory whilst transporting relatively few bits to do it.
