2.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not quite the book I was looking for., August 24, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A large portion of the book is dedicated to the history, design, and evolution of the PC. While it seems well written and is interesting, it is not particularly important to the topic of the book which is PC-based instrumentation and control. A little less than half the book (chapters 8-13) seems to be dedicated to the topic and is not as detailed as the first half the book which is not really on topic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless book for practical purposes, October 13, 2010
By 
E. A. Salas (deerfield beach, fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Purely theoretical book. It very very little to C and C++ and the example is of a key board input. Being the book about instrumentation and control this is seems totally off.
This book is USELESS for practical purposes. If I wanted history and theory of pc instrumentation I would have gone to wikipedia.
What a waste of money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Out Dated Book, February 11, 2011
This review is from: PC-based Instrumentation and Control, Second Edition (IDC Technology) (Hardcover)
This book is out of date. There's no mention of the USB serial interface or how to use it for PC-based instrumentation in this book. I should have bought a newer edition.
