mode

Real mode, also called real address mode, is an operating mode of all x86-compatible CPUs. The mode gets its name from the fact that addresses in real mode always correspond to real locations in memory. Real mode is characterized by a 20-bit segmented memory address space (giving 1 MB of addressable memory) and unlimited direct software access to all addressable memory, I/O addresses and peripheral hardware. Real mode provides no support for memory protection, multitasking, or code privilege levels.
Before the introduction of protected mode with the release of the 80286, real mode was the only available mode for x86 CPUs; and for backward compatibility, all x86 CPUs start in real mode when reset, though it is possible to emulate real mode on other systems when starting in other modes.

    EV mode

    Hi, I have just purchased an MG HS PHEV, October 2021, as a interim step towards full EV ownership as the infrastructure for full EV is not yet available, and mainly as a way of reducing the running costs as the majority of the time is spent on short journeys of 5 to 25 miles a day, which I...

    Liking Snow mode ;o)

    Tried snow mode today as there was a light covering on our road and I'm loving it. It's so smooth on take off and unlike eco mode, the brakes don't feel soggy. The regen being less severe worked great on a steep hill I go down where, in normal mode, I usually have to press the accelerator a bit...

    Changing drive mode vs one pedal driving

    While driving with the one pedal drive mode selected on, changing the drive mode using the left star button seems to impact the one pedal drive option, in other words, the one pedal drive mode is suddenly turned off. As an example, when the car is started, the drive mode shows 'Normal', when...

    Frustration over Drive Mode and Safety Default Settings

    I am hoping that I am not the only new MG owner frustrated at MG Australia's decision not to allow the drive mode default settings to be changed and saved. It is incredibly frustrating having to change the drive mode and driving safety features every time you get behind the wheel and start the...

  8. Launch mode

    Is there a launch mode on the old girl? I'd love a foot to floor wheel spin in the dry. I'm nuts I know, but just a bit of fun factor.

    Does snow mode in Xpower use AWD?

    As per thread title, interested to find out if the Xpower used AWD in Snow mode. I live at the top of a long hill which means that nearly every year we end up having to abandon the car at the bottom and walk up. Hoping that AWD might help.
