Through descriptions of each Intel family member such as memory systems, various I/O systems, and interrupt controller are provided. Also discussed are the personal computer system buses (ISA, PCI and USB). Through these systems, a practical approach to microprocessor interfacing is learned.

1. Using the Microsoft MACRO Assembler program provide an opportunity to learn how to program the Intel family of microprocessors. 2. Through descriptions of each family member, memory systems, and various I/O systems that include disk memory, ADC and DAC, 16550 UART, PIAs, timers, keyboard/display controllers, arithmetic coprocessors, and video display systems are also provided. Also discussed are the personal computer system buses (AGP, ISA, PCI, VESA, and USB). Through these systems, a practical approach to microprocessor interfacing is learned.1.
