An introduction to their architecture, System design and Programming. Second Edition, 1987. By Stephen P. Morse. Written by the man responsible for the design of the 8086 microprocessor, this revised edition has been updated to provide novices and professionals alike with a thorough introduction to Intel 8086 and 8088 microprocessors. After a general introduction to computers and microprocessors, with emphasis on the 8086, the book discusses architecture: the machine organization of the 8086/8088, covering registers and memory structure, addressing modes and the 8086/8088 instruction set. The section on system design includes bus structure, address latching, data amplifying, measuring time, memory units, input/output ports, interrupt servicing, and bigger systems. The book concludes with a discussion of programming. In addition to chapters on a low level programming language, ASM-86, and a high level language, PL/M-86, a new chapter examines the Pascal language.
