port, used for connecting the printer, the RS232 port, used for the
mouse, and the games port for a joystick. This book explores how
these input/output (I/O) ports can be put to use through a range of
other interfacing applications. This is especially useful for
laptop and palmtop PCs which cannot be fitted with internal I/O
cards. A novel approach is taken by this book, combining the
hardware through which the ports can be explored, and the software
programming needed to carry out a range of experiments.
Presented in this book is a comprehensive business-oriented approach to teaching assembly language programming on IBM and IBM-compatible computers, geared towards graduate and undergraduate students majoring in data processing or computer science. It also contains self- evaluation quizzes, chapter objectives, exercises and chapter summaries.
