Converting from 1Mbyte to Hex
binary, microprocessors, size
Solution
1 Megabyte is `2^20`. That means that you need 20 bits to represent it. The range `00000-FFFFF` holds all possible values of 20 bits.
Problem
I am having problem understanding the following text, `8088` supports `1` Mbyte of external memory. This memory space is organized from a software point of view as individual bytes of data stored at consecutive address over the address range `00000` to `FFFFF`. Now I don't get how the author converted from 1 Mbyte to FFFFF. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks.
