About this title

Synopsis

Interface your PC via ports, busses, controllers -- the works.

Everything you need to interface your PC with outside devices -- including developing customized applications -- is at your fingertips in a single hands-on guide. Building your expertise from the ground up, Myke Predko's PC Ph.D: Inside PC Interfacing shows you how to work with memory and I/O space mapping, parallel ports, serial ports (RS-232), expansion busses (ISA, MCA, EISA, and PCI), disk busses (IDE, EIDE and SCSI), the joystick interface and the new USB. This one-of-a-kind guide puts you in control of:

*Device Drivers, including Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) and Virtual Device Drivers (VxDs) *Basic Assembler Programming *Interrupt Programming *The BIOS Interface *MS-DOS command, practical, and event-driven programming *Windows -- Windows Graphical User Interface...Win16 vs Win32...WIN.INI...Windows APIs...Windows .DLLs *And much, much more

For each interface, you get full details on its architecture, instruction set, and the applications for which it's best suited, plus experiments (including source code in 8086 assembler, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and LabView), and over 30 projects.
