Intel did the H/W design on this one so you can just focus on writing software ;) If you are looking for more resources, I have a number of these books from Merrill Publishing... there is one about the 8086/8088 in particular, "8086/8088 Microprocessor: Architecture, Programming and Interfacing" by Brey, might be worth checking out... I don't own that particular title, but I own several other titles from the same publishing house and they are all pretty good. What you can do is limited only by your imagination! If I were you, I'd probably start out trying to interface a UART, get a little monitor running on a TTY, and go from there :) Best, Sean On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 9:28 AM, Alexandre Souza < alexandre.tabajara at gmail.com> wrote: > I have one too, but never got it to work.
