A practical text for both students and computer professionals, introducing the concepts and characteristics of the Motorola 68000 family of processors. The volume is conceptually divided into three sections: fundamental principles and the 68000 family, assembly language programming techniques for the processors, and system design and development for 68000-based computer systems. Five appendices provide additional related material. Each chapter concludes with problems, with selected answers at the back of the text. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or
