Programming the 8086/8088

Imagine yourself programming, controlling, and using one of the most powerful and versatile 16-bit microprocescessors in the computer industry of today. This book will teach you how to get the most from the 8086 and 8088 microprocessor - from the internal architecture to the advanced addressing modes. Specifically, you will learn: basic concepts of microprocessor programming -- the internal structure -- memory organization -- the complete interrupt structure -- input and output techniques -- how to use the 8088 to control the IBM PC and much more. Sample programs make the instructions provided easy to understand. The specific differences and similarities between the 8086 and 8088 are covered in detail. -- Publisher (back cover).
