   Ah, so V86 mode. Well in PM32 then, your max address space is 1MB + 64k...   
      
   "The hardware provides a virtual set of registers (via the TSS), a virtual   
   memory space (the first megabyte of the linear address space of the task), and   
   directly executes all instructions that deal with these registers and with   
   this address space."
