You can use this way to do conversion:-
1. Seperate the address byte by byte(group intp 2 hex), ie treat each byte indi
vidualy.
2. Write down the binary value of each byte (from left to right of each byte).
3. Write down each byte from right to left.
4. Write down the hex .

Eg 12-3C-45-66-78-99

1. ---12---- ---3C---- ---45---- ---66---- ---78---- ---99---
2. 0001 0010 0011 1100 0100 0101 0110 0110 0111 1000 1001 1001 ( left to r
ight)
3. 0100 1000 0011 1100 1010 0010 0110 0110 0001 1110 1001 1001 ( right to
left)
4 ---48---- ---3C---- ---A2---- ---66---- ---1E---- ---99----
   48-3C-A2-66-1E-99

The other way :

2 = 0010 ( from left to right), it image 0100 = 4 ( from right to left). Each h
ex have one image
18, 24, 3C, 42, 5A, 66, 7E, 81, 99, A5, BD, C3, DB, E7, FF if a byte has the sa
me value, no
conversion is require.

Eg 12-3C-45-66-78-99
    / / / / / /
   48-3C-A2-66-1E-99

Does anyone has a better explanation for this? I would
really appreciate it. Also, is there an easy way to do
the conversion or does one have to memorize how to
convert every single digit/character?

Thanks
