Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

               Register/Memory (r/m) Field
 
     In scaled indexing, the base register (base) field combines with
     the mod field to specify the base register and the displacement.
     Scaled addressing is allowed only under the .386 and .486
     directives.
 
     Fields for 32-bit indexed operands are:

     The operand [EBP] must be encoded as [EBP+0]; the 0 is an 8-bit
     displacement. Similarly, [EBP+(scale*index)] must be encoded as
     [EBP+(scale*index)+0]. The short encoding form available with
     other base registers cannot be used with EBP.
