Problem

Solutions: Intel 8088 Microprocessor: A microprocessor that was introduced in 1978 (the same year as the 8086 microprocessor) and is most famous for its use in the original IBM personal computer. It is also used in IBM PCs, XTs, and compatibles. IBM chose the 8088 microprocessor because of its much lower cost than the 8086 microprocessor. Though the 8088 microprocessor can process 16 bits (or 2 bytes) of data at one time internally, it can only process 8 bits of data at one time externally. The 8088 microprocessor can access up to one megabyte of RAM memory.
