4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but a major technical error,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC (Paperback)
The book does a pretty good job overall. It tends to go into too much detail in some areas and not enough in others.One major technical. In chapter 2 the author confuses I/O space of the microprocessor with the Interrupt vector table which is contained in memory. Table 2-1 for example defines the I/O address as the area in lower memory where the memory address of the device driver is stored. It's not. This is a description of an interrupt vector. The author doesn't seem to understand that Intel microprocessors have a separate I/O space which is used to communicate with hardware.

1.0 out of 5 stars
This book deserves less than one star.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC (Paperback)
This book should not have been published. Someone at our College unwittingly picked out this book for the A+ Class, and everyone that's been forced to use it has the same opinion - this book doesn't score one star.The chapter on Electricity and Power Supplies has enough mistakes in it to convince me that the author has a minimal knowledge, at best, of electrical properties. Another chapter has several pages blacked-out. The A+ certification course is a new course at our college and we've had a couple of instructor changes. The current instructor vows this will be the only class that will ever have to put up with this book. We will most likely be switching to Marcraft's A+ training guide.
