This text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to computer hardware, software and firmware for those wishing to follow more specialist courses in later years. Assuming almost no previous knowledge of either hardware or software, the book proceeds from basic concepts of logic design to computer structure, memory systems, and input-output considerations. A description of a small computer system then explains the basic principles of data storage, instruction sets, and addressing modes, as a preamble to systems software and data communications. The underlying purpose of the book is to show not only how computers, especially microcomputers, function in the way that they do but also why they are designed in the way they are. This book should be of interest to first year undergraduate and diploma students of computer science, and electrical and electronic engineering.
