Covers all the x86 microprocessors, from the 8088 to the Pentium Pro, and combines assembly and C programming early on. Introduces the x86 instructions with examples of how they are used, and uses fragments of programs from IBM PC technical reference to show a real-world approach to programming in assembly. Ensures a basic understanding of binary and hex numbering systems before delving into PC assembly language and system programming, and discusses hardware differences among 8086, 286, 386, 486, Pentium and Pentium Pro chips. Second Edition covers the latest in bit-manipulation, interrupt programming, mouse programming in assembly and C, INT 16H and key press detection, and DRAM technologies of EDO, SDRAM, and RAM BUS. Readers will also explore PC interfacing with real world devices such as LCD, stepper motor, ADC, DAC, and temperature Sensor.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book on Intel Assembly and Architecture,
By A Customer
This review is from: 80X86 IBM PC and Compatible Computers, The: Assembly Language, Design, and Interfacing, Vol I and II (Hardcover)
This book is very thorough and easy to read and understand. Extremely well organized. If you are familiar with an other architecture or a high level language this book will teach you Intel assembly.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good for beginners like me!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 80X86 IBM PC and Compatible Computers, The: Assembly Language, Design, and Interfacing, Vol I and II (Hardcover)
I have learned 68000 family assembly and hardware and now i am entering the Intel family. I didn't know that studying this book can make things so easy! The authors really make things simple and clear, and yet all the important points are there! And the examples are simple and straightforward, and they do serve their purpose in explaining concepts! I fully recommend for beginners in assembly and microprocessors.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book,
This review is from: 80X86 IBM PC and Compatible Computers, The: Assembly Language, Design, and Interfacing, Vol I and II (Hardcover)
I really dig this book, and don't regret spend an enormous amount of money purchasing it. It's suprisingly clear and terse for a manual as complete as it is. There's only reason I can't give it five stars; there's no discussion of BIOS-level disk I/O. That's important stuff; some of us have operating systems to write!
