Assembly

[kevinthenerd]

I want to learn x86. (at least enough to play with it... nothing huge like rewriting Linux or anything) Do you have any good books that you'd recommend? Is there a "For Dummies" book on it? Any good assemblers that you'd recommend for either DOS or Linux?

Ouch... is it worth $91.40 ? That at least gives me an idea of what to request via inter-library loans.

You can download TASM which let's your compile and run your codes. You can then use debug.exe to trace and run your code from there. But first, you must need a book. That being said, I don't know what book is good.

Maybe start with a simple embedded processor such as the Motorola HC912x.

tasm is for 8086 i would suggest start with something simpler like 8085 before you get into 8086, 8085 is programmed on boards directly though, i guess u cud pick 1 up from ebay or something, i am not sure, i used the boards we had in labs in school

I thought 8086 is as simple as it can get?!?!?

MOX AX,BX.

8 bit registers only though.
