A very important book on the IBM PC

SAMS 8088 Assembler Language Programming: The IBM® PC Second Edition In this book, you will learn: * How the IBM Personal Computer works. * About the 8088 microprocessor and other important components of the IBM PC. * How to program this computer in assembly language to gain fast execution of programs and close control over the actual circuits of the computer. * How to control the system hardware, including the keyboard, video display printer, serial-communications adapter, and diskette drives. Includes sample programs. Written for anyone, whether hobbyist or professional, who wants to know about the IBM Personal Computer and the Intel 8088 microprocessor. Machine Requirements: * IBM PC Compatible Systems (96K) * 1 Disk Drive * IBM Macro Assembler My Comment: This is one of two books that, in my opinion, are essential if you want to program the 'metal' of the IBM PC and its descendants. All of the basic hardware elements of the PC are covered with many diagrams that explain exactly how this computer can be programmed.
