This is the first practical text/reference that deals with the programming and interfacing aspects of the embedded microprocessor family that has gained wide applications in many areas of electronics, communications, and control systems. Using the Microsoft Macro assembler program (MASM), it develops many example programming applications using not only the 80186/80188 and 80386EX, but all the Intel family members — from the 80486 through the Pentium Pro processor — and contains hundreds of applications that can be executed on the personal computer using a student version of MASM from Microsoft.
