Subtest 01 Constant data (real mode)

to 640 KB). Then reads the new data and compares the result with the origi-
nal data. The constant data is FFFFh, AAAAh, 5555h, and 0000h.
Subtest 02 Address pattern data (real mode)
This subtest writes address pattern data created by the exclusive-ORing
(XORing), to the address segment and address offset in conventional memory
(program end to 640 KB), then reads the new data and compares the result
with the original data.
Subtest 03 Refresh (real mode)
This subtest writes a 256-byte unit of constant data to conventional memory (0
to 640 KB), then reads the new data and compares the result with the original
data.
The constant data is AAAAh and 5555h.
NOTE: There is a short delay between write and read operations,
depending on the size of the data.

This subtest writes constant data and address data to extended memory (maxi-
mum address 100000h), then reads new data and compares the result with the
