Synopsis
PC Principles provides advanced computer science students and experienced PC users with an up-to-date, comprehensive, and technically detailed explanation of the entire IBM PC family, including the advanced features of the new processors. Forst's in-depth investigation covers both the microcomputer and the more intricate details of operating system and support hardware and their relationship within the PC family.
Unique in several respects, PC Principles treats the current PS/2 line as an evolution of the older PC, describes the OS/2, 286 and 386 machines. It provides detailed coverage of hardware and software and of the instruction sets of the 8086, 80286, and 80386 architectures and their working modes, and includes descriptions of the video subsystems that will be particularly useful to software systems designers.
Gunnar Forst is Professor of Mathematics at the Mathematics Institute at Copenhagen University.
