The 8086/8088 Family: Designing, Programming and Interfacing

This book presents the full range of Intel 80x86 microprocessors, in context as a component of a comprehensive microprocessor system. It provides a thorough, single volume coverage of all Intel processors relative to their application in the PC, and is as much an introduction to the PC itself as to Intel chips.

Covers all PC-related technologies, including memory, data communications, and PC bus standards. The second edition of The 8086/8088 Family: Design, Programming, and Interfacing has been revised to include the latest, most up-to-date information and technologies. This edition now covers Windows; a description of the MS-DOS BIOS services and function calls; two completely revised software chapters; an updated chapter on memory; coverage of the 16550 UART and common modern standards; and a new chapter on PC architecture and the common bus systems.
