1976 CPU/Microcomputer Guide ~ 350+ Pages
In-depth look at 4004, 4040, 8008, 8080, Rockwell PPS-4, PPS-8,
RCA 1802, 6800, IMP-00A, and PACE at a time when early micros like the Micral, Scelbi-8H, Mark-8, and Altair 8800 were igniting a hobbyist revolution, this fascinating book covers everything you need to know to design, build, and program microprocessor-based systems from the ground up. Weighing in at over 350 pages, it's loaded with information on the Intel 4004, 4040, 8008, and 8080, the somewhat rare Rockwell PPS-4 and PPS-8 (used in Gottlieb pinball machines), National Semiconductor's IMP-16 and PACE, the Motorola 6800, and the RCA 1802, including CPU pinouts and a complete listing of each chip's instruction set. Topics run the gamut from microcomputer architectures to assembly language to DMA transfers to peripheral interfacing, and more.
