Microcomputers and The 8088, 8085, and Z-80 Programming, Interfacing, and Troubleshooting, Third Edition, is written to provide readers with a solid foundation in microcomputer technology. It uses a three-microprocessor, hands-on approach to take the reader through the steps of actually building a microcomputer. In so doing, it allows the reader to develop a thorough understanding of a microcomputer system's hardware components and the role of the software to control that hardware.
