This document provides information about Pentium real mode, including:
- Pentium real mode operates like an 8086 and allows legacy PCDOS/MSDOS systems to run. It can access the first 1MB of memory.
- It provides default segment registers (CS, DS, SS, ES, FS, GS), a 16-bit IP, and supports 6 active segments. It executes instructions from 8086 through Pentium except protected mode instructions.
- Data types include bytes, words, doublewords, signed/unsigned integers, BCD, strings, bits, pointers. Aligned data is faster than misaligned.
- The software model uses 16-bit registers and segments. General purpose registers
