  Does anyone have some sample code to switch the 80286 into protected mode
and set up the segment descriptor tables?  I am attempting to write a memory
test program and would like to be able to test the memory above the 1MB real
mode limit (since that is where my current memory problem appears to be)  A
reference to a good book on programming the '286 (or '386 if it covers 286
protected mode in some detail) in protected mode would also be appreciated.

Thanks for the help
