Motorola's 68000 family of chips is one of the most successful ever designed with over 10 million units sold. This Sourcebook is the most comprehensive with more than 1,000 pages of reliable, up-to-date data on the 68000, 68010, 68020, and 68030 chips Apple selected for its Macintosh and SE computers. It features everything the engineer and programmer need to know to design and implement 68000-based systems-including architecture, programming, peripherals, "glue" chips, and tried-and-true applications. Any electronics or computer engineer designing new computer or control systems-or optimizing current 68000-based systems-will find this book an invaluable reference and self-teaching tool.
Honestly, 68000 Sourcebook is the kind of book you'll push on friends and then nervously wait for their verdict. Alan Clements takes real risks, and risks don't always land. But when they do, it hits different. Recommend for people who love a book with something to prove, skip if you want a sure thing.
Alan Clements exposes in 68000 Sourcebook how centralized systems always end up sacrificing the individual to preserve their own organizational machinery.
