 Base-plus-index addressing mode
The contents of a base register (BX or BP) is
added to the contents of an index register (SI or
DI), the resulting value is a pointer to location
where data resides.

MOV AX,[BX + SI]

• MOV DX,[BX + DI]
• DS=0100H, BX=1000H and DI=0010H
• memory address 02010H is accessed because
 Based-Indexed Relative Addressing Mode
• 8-bit or 16-bit bit instruction operand is added to
the contents of a base register (BX or BP) and
index register (SI or DI), the resulting value is a
pointer to location where data resides.
