Introduction to 8080/8085 Assembly Language Programming (Wiley Self Teaching Guides)

This is a good book to have if you're into vintage machines (Altair, IMSAI 8080, Sol-20, etc.) It has a good introduction to assembly - all the usual verbiage on number bases, registers, instruction sets, etc - and covers the classic 8080 & 8085 chips. The book was written in 1981 - well before "newbies" came to the computer field - so the text is informative, no-nonsense, and easy to follow. It lacks flashy hype and useless "fluff" found in so many of todays books. The book comes with reviews and self-tests. It's a mini-textbook very suitable for self-study. -- J. Garza, Amazon reviews
