I've only started reading this book, but a skim through the ToC and contents themselves tells me that it's an excellent resource. Not the least is the Simple As Possible architecture concept, cutting down to the absolute bare essentials and still qualify as a bonafide microprocessor. I bought this book (second hand) to help in working with my AIM-65 microprocessor (6502) trainer and my Heathkit ET-3400A microprocessor (6800) trainer, as well as to build my own 65C02-based microcomputer, and I know this book will be immensely helpful.
Anyone know where I can get the instructor's manual (mentioned in the preface)? Even just a look at the table of contents would help in figuring out if it's worth chasing down and buying. Please ping me if you can send me a photo of the table of contents (of the instructor's manual). Thanks so much!
