Tells you how to design and build a general-purpose microcomputer to your own specifications. Bridges the gap between the highly specific data sheets from manufacturers and the more general student textbooks. Provides full circuit diagrams, and shows you with a wealth of practical details how to build the system yourself. Also teaches you the principles involved, so that you can modify the design, and build a new system to your own requirements. Topics covered include power supplies, address decoding, input/output techniques, video display circuits, analog-to-digital interface, multiprocessors, and the monitor program which controls the system.
