- I strongly recommend that you get a copy of Robert Joudain's book
- _Programmer's_Problem_Solver_for_the_IBM_PC,_XT_&_AT_
- (ISBN 0-89303-787-7 or a newer revision) from Brady/Prentice Hall. This book
- covers 8237 DMA, 8250 UART, 8253/8254 PIT, 8255 parallel, 8259 PIC, 6845 CRTC,
- and u765 FDC chips as they are implemented in PCs and clones. It provides
- sample
- code in assembler and (yecch) BASIC of examples of program use of the
- hardware.
-
-
- With the foundation provided by Jourdain it is much simpler to follow both the
- chip data sheets, or other technical documentation, and code that uses it.
