Ok, now we know a little bit about real mode and its memory addressing. Let's get back to discussing register values after reset.

-The `CS` register consists of two parts: the visible segment selector and the hidden base address. While the base address is normally formed by multiplying the segment selector value by 16, during a hardware reset the segment selector in the CS register is loaded with `0xf000` and the base address is loaded with `0xffff0000`. The processor uses this special base address until `CS` changes.

+The `CS` register consists of two parts: the visible segment selector and the hidden base address. In real-address mode, the base address is normally formed by shifting the 16-bit segment selector value 4 bits to the left to produce a 20-bit base address. However, during a hardware reset the segment selector in the CS register is loaded with `0xf000` and the base address is loaded with `0xffff0000`. The processor uses this special base address until `CS` changes.
