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.
