Assembly Programming and the 8086 Microprocessor

The Intel 8086 microprocessor is one of the most popular and appears in several versions of the IBM Personal Computer, many PC-compatibles and the IBM PS/2 Model 30. This book is written for those PC users who are already competent in one high level language (such as BASIC or PASCAL), but who need more flexibility and speed than such languages can provide. It begins by explaining the fundamentals of assembly programming and then describes the essential details of the 8086 chip. The book progresses by means of illustrative programs and subroutines to sophisticated topics such as floating-point arithmetic and operation system calls. Also contained are a large number of exercises.
