Covering both the hardware and software aspects of the popular 68000 microprocessor and its more enhanced versions - the 68020, the 68030, and 68040, this book introduces the common microprocessor... This description may be from another edition of this product.
MacKenzie starts at the basics, even including a "Chapter 0" review of such basics as converting between bases and digital logic. About half the book is the 68000 programmer's guide. The rest is Mackenzie's explanations and examples. Chapter 5 in particular offers many excellent examples that help put the entire preceding book into perspective. Educators will find that students will learn much better if the class includes a hands-on lab. The book includes a disk including a compiler, linker, and terminal emulator to download assembly programs via RS232 from a PC.MacKenzie also offers hardware kits for experiments, including a complete MC68000 board, hex keypad, and various switch/LED combinations.NOTE: there are several confusing mistakes in the book, particularly Appendix B, p.368, with the MOVE Byte command. It is very important to visit MacKenzie's web page for release notes.
