Book Description
Designed for students and professionals interested in learning the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor. Irvine shows how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset. Readers will benefit most if they have already learned a high-level language such as C++, Delphi, or Java.

Software: Includes a full professional version of Microsoft Assembler 6.11 (MASM). Also supplied are a large link library of console I/O routines, and a custom-designed programming editor from which you can assemble, link, and debug programs.

Examples: Over 50 complete example programs are supplied, including protected-mode subroutines that link to Microsoft Visual C++ and Borland C++.

Topics: Binary and hexadecimal tutorials, hardware and software architecture, instruction set fundamentals, procedures and interrupts, stack parameters, conditional processing, logic structures, integer arithmetic, structures and macros, numeric conversions and libraries, strings and arrays, disk storage, finite state machines, low-level disk I/O, hardware port I/O, linking to C++ programs, memory-resident programs, and floating-point instructions.

From the Back Cover
Key Benefit:An ideal quick-reference for people who need to brush up on their PC Assembler programming skills, and a quality tutorial for those who already program in C, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language for the IBM-PC covers the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor. Based on the Intel 80x86 processor family, it concentrates on the MS-DOS operating system, and provides literally hundreds of short examples that show how assembly language may be applied to useful problems. Key Topics: Contains detailed chapters on assembly language directives, macros, operators, and structure; programming methodology; direct programming of computer hardware; and the interaction between assembly language programs, the operating system, and other application programs. Presents a complete chapter on using DOS and BIOS interrupts, examines Pentium architecture, explores the use of a debugger, and includes a quick-reference guide to all DOS INT 21 service routes. Now provides a greater emphasis on the architecture of the 32-bit processor, current motherboard and bus architectures, and types of RAM. Extensively updates chapters on disk and file processing, integrates 80 ready to run programs, and comes with a sample program disk. A dedicated web site provides versions of the sample programs for the ASM86 assembler. Market: For embedded systems programmers.
