Hmm....
I received several replies to the offer and did some more searching on
the net. It seems books with the same title are available on both Amazon
and Abebooks and are very reasonably priced. The booksellers listings
indicate they are all softcover. The version I have is hardcover.
As are the ones I have (the two with the similar titles).
If anyone is interested, make an offer for Tab Books:
"How To Design
Build & Program Your Own Working Computer System" by Robert P. Haviland
Pub. 1979 . 308 ppg. This is a complete how-to for the SC/MP
microprocessor.
Reply to me directly. Postage will be from Western North Carolina.
Strangely, I'm sure I have the same title from the same publisher
sitting on my shelf but it's for an 8080. When I was younger my Father
built the design on some veroboard and found many errors in the book.
One of these days I'll get around to finishing it!
Cheers,
James The book is a pretty complete "how-to" for
building the authors SC/MP
based "SCAMP" computer. It's quite possible the author did versions with
the same title except focusing on different microprocessors. Other
logical offspring would be the Z80, 6502,and 6800.
Does anyone have other versions of the book?
I have two books with similar titles, but they're not at all similar in terms
of content, nor are they by the same author. Perhaps one of these days I
can find the box with my TAB books in them and see if anyone here is
interested...
