Thanks for the responses to my question. I was able to
continue searching
from the tips and I'm pretty sure what I was asking about must have been
from NRI. From what I came up with it also looks like that is long gone.
I am back to my original problem. How to learn the fundamentals of the 8088
or 8086 ... and then to continue from there to the larger chips. At the
The best way to learn 8088 is to get a PC and install DOS and some
software on it, including DEBUG.COM, an editor, an assembler, then you
get an assembly language book and type in examples. If you want to
learn FDDs, HDDs, go read FreeDOS source code. for Video coding, just
google for examples. There are plenty.
moment I'm concerned about the 8088 or 8086. I
have found resources that
introduce those chips in a very clear, step-by-step way and include the plans
for building a trainer. But they all stop short of interfacing FDDs, HDDs,
etc. Would anyone know how I could "learn-by-building" an 8088 or 8086 system
complete with drive interfaces, etc., starting with the very elementary aspects
of learning the chip architecture and hardware on through to systems with
FDDs and HDs and video, etc.? Thanks again.
