80X86 IBM PC and Compatible Computers: Assembly Language, Design, and Interfacing, Vol I and II 2nd edition [Hardback]

A textbook using the ubiquitous IBM series of computers as a handy example to explain and demonstrate both the hardware and software aspects of computing. Assumes at least a familiarity with the machines and the DOS operating system, and an introductory digital course; knowledge of other programming languages would be helpful but is not necessary. Combines and updates the first two volumes of the 1995 edition, which covers 16-bit computers; the later volumes consider 32-bit versions. Among the topics are bit-manipulation, interrupt programming, and mouse programming in assembly and C; the DRAM technologies of EDO, SDRAM, and RAMBUS; and interfacing with LCD. stepper motors, ADC, DAC, temperature sensors, and other devices.
