The taxonomic structure of the true finch family, Fringillidae, has been fairly disputed in the past, with some upranking the Hawaiian honeycreepers ( Drepanidinae ) as family Drepanididae and / or uniting the cardueline and fringilline finches as tribes ( Carduelini and Fringillini ) in one subfamily ; the euphonious finches ( Euphoniinae ) were thought to be tanagers due to general similarity in appearance and mode of life until their real affinities were realized.

All Windows and DOS-based applications at the time were real mode, running over the protected mode kernel by using the virtual 8086 mode, which was new with the 80386 processor.

Microsoft did not change all of the Windows code to 32-bit ; parts of it remained 16-bit ( albeit not directly using real mode ) for reasons of compatibility, performance, and development time.

Windows Me was criticised for stability issues, and for lacking real mode DOS support, to the point of being referred to as the " Mistake Edition " or " Many Errors.

Additionally, there was a performance penalty involved in accessing extended memory from real mode, as noted below.

The MMU and protection mechanisms are enabled only in case of protected mode ( except for the segment overrun protection ) keeping them disabled in real mode of operation.

By design, the 286 could not revert from protected mode to the basic 8086-compatible " real mode " without a hardware-initiated reset.

When Intel designed the 286, it was not designed to be able to multitask real-mode applications ; real mode was intended to be a simple way for a bootstrap loader to prepare the system and then switch to protected mode.

) The difficulty lay in the incompatibility of old DOS ( real mode ) programs with protected mode.

In protected mode, memory management and interrupt handling were done differently than in real mode.

In addition, DOS programs would not be allowed to access or modify data and code segments that did not belong to them as they could in real mode.

* LOADALL – Undocumented 80286 / 80386 instruction that allowed access to all available memory in real mode.

The 80386 featured three operating modes: real mode, protected mode and virtual mode.

The all new virtual 8086 mode ( or VM86 ) made it possible to run one or more real mode programs in a protected environment, although some programs were not compatible.

This was an embedded version of the i386SX which did not support real mode and paging in the MMU.

Applesoft converted integer numbers to real before performing operations on them, converting the result back to an integer only if it was to be assigned to a ( 16-bit signed ) integer variable.

The cheapest model was the S / 360-20 with as little as 4 K of core memory, eight 16-bit registers instead of the sixteen 32-bit registers of real 360s, and an instruction set that was a subset of that used by the rest of the range.

As such, it could not operate in 80286 protected mode or perform 16-bit memory or I / O transfers in one bus cycle, but it did benefit from the higher speed of the 80286 and its other added instructions in real mode.

VGA was the last graphical standard introduced by IBM that the majority of PC clone manufacturers conformed to, making it today () the lowest common denominator that almost all post-1990 PC graphics hardware can be expected to implement down to the lowest level of hardware registers, obviating the need for any device-specific firmware or driver software ( while all VGA compatible hardware has on-board firmware as well, the only standardized API of that firmware was created for 16-bit real mode and can't easily be used by newer 32-or 64-bit operating systems ).

In real mode or V86 mode, a segment is always 65, 536 bytes in size ( using 16-bit offsets ).

In 16-bit real mode, enabling applications to make use of multiple memory segments ( in order to access more memory than available in any one 64K-segment ) is quite complex, but was viewed as a necessary evil for all but the smallest tools ( which could do with less memory ).

FASM originally only ran in 16-bit flat real mode.

For playback and not recording purposes, a proper analysis of typical programme levels throughout an audio system reveals that the capabilities of well-engineered 16-bit material far exceed those of the very best hi-fi systems, with the microphone noise and loudspeaker headroom being the real limiting factors.

There are a number of different opcodes that perform a jump ; depending on whether the processor is in real mode or protected mode, and an override instruction is used, the instructions may take 16-bit, 32-bit, or segment: offset pointers.

The most important reason for doing this is to allow protected mode programs to function under DOS, whose kernel used 16-bit real mode throughout its commercial life.

DPMI can be thought of as a " translator " that takes ( for example ) protected mode DOS calls and translates the registers to and from real and protected mode, including taking 16-bit segmented addresses and translating them to a suitable protected mode format.

; this code is for real mode and 16-bit protected mode, but it could easily be changed into

Microsoft did not change all of the Windows code to 32-bit ; parts of it remained 16-bit ( albeit not directly using real mode ) for reasons of compatibility, performance and development time.

The VMM works with virtual devices ( loadable kernel modules, which consist mostly of 32-bit ring 0 or kernel mode code, but may include other types of code, such as a 16-bit real mode initialisation segment ) to allow those virtual devices to intercept interrupts and faults to control the access that an application has to hardware devices and installed software.

Any 16-bit drivers and programs would patch or hook what they thought was the real MS-DOS, but which was in reality just a decoy.

" Game designer Roe R. Adams ( who worked on Wizardry ) gave Phantasy Star II a positive review in Computer Gaming World, stating that its " 16-bit graphics are gorgeous, but the real fun lies in the science fiction story plot.

Address Translation Registers were set to define the actual address space in use at any one time, their contents being concatenated with the 16-bit address used by a program to produce a real address.

Another interesting usage of LOADALL, laid out in the book The Design of OS / 2, would have been to allow running former real mode programs in 16-bit protected mode, as utilized by Digital Research's Concurrent DOS 286 since 1985 as well as FlexOS 286 and IBM 4680 OS since 1986 / 1987.

The computer's BIOS is invoked during the 16-bit real mode bootstrap stage ; once in 32-bit mode, Singularity never invokes the BIOS again, but invokes device drivers written in Sing #.

32-bit programs and 16-bit protected mode programs are executed in a compatibility sub-mode ; real mode or virtual 8086 mode programs cannot run in this mode.

the Commission on Race and Housing concluded that `` there is no reason to believe that real estate men are either more or less racially prejudiced, on the whole, than any other segment of the American population ''.

is in C. In other words, every point on the line segment connecting x and y is in C. This implies that a convex set in a real or complex topological vector space is path-connected, thus connected.

It can then be shown that a real number r is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | r | can be constructed with compass and straightedge.

The GIOVE Mission segment operated by European Satellite Navigation Industries is exploiting the GIOVE-A / B satellites to provide experimental results based on real data to be used for risk mitigation for the IOV satellites that will follow on from the testbeds.

The new medium proved very useful for political and military interests when it came to reaching a broad segment of the population and creating consent or encouraging rejection of the real or imagined enemy.

If there are multiple page or segment tables, there are multiple virtual address spaces and concurrent applications with separate page tables redirect to different real addresses.

Since the real numbers can be used to represent points along an infinitely long line, this implies that a line segment of length 1, which is a part of that line, has the same number of points as the whole line.

In the final minute of the segment, the 3D Homer ends up in a real world, live-action Los Angeles.

This business segment provides institutions with services such as capital raising and financial advisory services including mergers and acquisitions advisory, restructurings, real estate and project finance, and corporate lending.

After being introduced, guests for the interview segment were escorted from backstage by a woman in formal dress dubbed by production staff and listed in the credits as " Ms. Smythe " (" Miss Smythe " until the late 1980s ), always followed by her real name.

Letterman easily adapted to these restrictions for his CBS show: the Viewer Mail segment was continued under the name CBS Mailbag, and the actor playing Larry " Bud " Melman continued his antics under his real name, Calvert DeForest.

Data was then written just as it would on a real CGA ( i. e. the video display was updated by writing to segment B800h ) with only minor changes due to the different memory interlacing structure.

While real mode segments are always 64 KiB long, the practical effect is only that no segment can be longer than 64 KiB, rather than that every segment must be 64 KiB long.

Because there is no protection or privilege limitation in real mode, even if a segment could be defined to be smaller than 64 KiB, it would still be entirely up to the programs to coordinate and keep within the bounds of their segments, as any program can always access any memory ( since it can arbitrarily set segment selectors to change segment addresses with absolutely no supervision ).

Therefore, real mode can just as well be imagined as having a variable length for each segment, in the range 1 to 65536 bytes, that is just not enforced by the CPU.

With the release of the 386, protected mode could be exited by loading the segment registers with real mode values, disabling the A20 line and clearing the PE bit in the CR0 register, without the need to perform the initial setup steps required with the 286.

In real mode each logical address points directly into physical memory location, every logical address consists of two 16 bit parts: The segment part of the logical address contains the base address of a segment with a granularity of 16 bytes, i. e. a segments may start at physical address 0, 16, 32, ..., 2 < sup > 20 </ sup >- 16.
