Unreal mode

In x86 computing, unreal mode, also big real mode, flat real mode, or voodoo mode^[1] is a variant of real mode, in which one or more segment descriptors has been loaded with non-standard values, like 32-bit limits allowing access to the entire memory. Contrary to its name, it is not a separate addressing mode that the x86 processors can operate in. It is used in the 80286 and later x86 processors.
