8088 ASM

Post by patriotzero »

Hey - Got an HP95LX today from ebay.  It has DOS, which is good, but I would love to write my own os for it.  Does anyone know any really good 8088 resources (hopefully on the web)?

Any 8086 Assembly guides will do.

I'd recommend an old Assembly book - Peter Norton's Guide to Assembly Programming for the IBM PC, by Peter Norton and John Socha. (I'm not really sure about the exact title, though - I gave the book to a friend of mine.)

Here's the book mentioned by Deslack:

Assembly Language for the PC - Third Edition
John Socha and Peter Norton
Brady Programming Library
ISBN: 1-56686-016-4

There might be newer editions by now... mine's (c)1992.

The first edition of _Assembly Language Step by Step_ by Jeff Duntemann is a good choice if you can find it; the second edition still covers real mode programming in the first half (the second half is discusses p-mode programming under Linux), but only really covers small-memory-model programs. DUntemann's web page one the book is at http://www.duntemann.com/assembly.htm, while  ALibris lists the older book (used) as http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cf ... =4&qsort=r (ignore the synopsis, it refers to the second edition).

Good places to look for used programming books:
ALibris (http://www.alibris.com/)
Computer Books Online (www.computerbooksonline.com/)
Powell's Books (http://www.powells.com/)
