Answers

1. (b) The Intel 8086 was Intel's first x86 processor. Released in 1978, the 8086 began the long line of Intel's most successful architecture, which eventually included the 80286, 80386 and 80486. The 8086 was a 16-bit processor with a 16-bit data bus, 20-bit external bus, 64K I/O ports; it ran at up to 10Mhz.

2. (d) The address bus of an 8086 microprocessor 20 bits wide yet the data bus is 16.

3. (b)

4. (d) This addressing mode allows data to be addressed at any memory location through an offset address held in any of the following registers: BP, BX, DI & SI.

5. (b) A nonmaskable interrupt input pin is one that means that any interrupt request at NMI (nonmaskable interrupt) input cannot be masked or disabled by any means.

6. (c) In BSR (Bit Set-Reset) Mode, port C can be used to set and reset its individual port bits.

7. (a) The DEBUG may be used either to debug a source program or to observe the results of execution of an .EXE file.

8. (b) 

9. (a) 


This program complements the data of memory location 9258H.

10. (c)
