To be familiar with some commands by solving some simple problems In this laboratory,
we will use DEBUG program and learn how to:

1. Examine and modify the contents of the 8086’s internal register, and dedicated
parts of the memory.
2. Assemble instructions into memory of the PC system; TRACE each instruction
to determine the operation it performs.
3. Load the machine code of an assembled program from a file, run the program,
and observe the operation of a program.

Note that when typing commands and parameters you use any combinations of uppercase
and lowercase letters.

Check off each step as it is completed.

II. EQUIPMENT:

 PC with Windows OS installed with DOSBox 0.74


 8086 Assembly Files

-R

Note the contents of AX, BX, CX and DX should be all zero, and IP should be start at 0100.

6. Assemble the instruction MOV SI, [0200] into memory at address CS:0100 with the
following command:

-A 0100
XXXX:0100 MOV SI, [0200]

7. Initialize the word of memory starting at DS:0200 with the value 1234H and then verify
with a DUMP command that the contents of memory have been updated.

-E 0200
XXXX:0200 XX.12 press space bar XX.34
//must type 12 followed by space bar and type 34 the press enter
-D 0200

8. Clear the SI register and verify by redisplaying its contents.

-RSI
SI XXXX
:0000

9. Initialize the IP register with the value 0100H and verify by redisplaying its contents.

-RIP
IP XXXX
:0100

10. Execute the instruction with a TRACE command. Describe the operation performed by
