Keith,
If you took the way-back machine to the 1980s, the Holy Grail would have to
be " The Art Of Electronics " by Horowitz & Hill ( ISBN: 0 521 37095 7 ).
It
is also a favorite of some others on this list ( like Tony ). I cannot think
of a better single source of technical information. I got mine used on
Amazon for a song.
Best regards, Steven

Subject: Early 80's electronic/computer design books
I'm interested to learn the titles of some
standard reference books on
electronic and microcomputer design from the early 1980's. I've been
reverse engineering many aspects of the Commodore Amiga. While I have a
decent library of Amiga books, I'd like to expand the collection to
include the "de facto standard" reference texts of the day --- to give
me more of an insight into the minds of the designers.
If you could go back, what books would you find on the bookshelves of
these engineers? If you graduated college or a technical school in
1980, what were the popular reference texts used?
Thanks
Keith
