G0XAR 19 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have a single copy of "Understanding Microprocessors" written by the Ti Instruments Learning Centre Staff in 1979 and published by the Tandy Corporation under the Radio Shack brand.....even in those days Ti had 16 bit processors namely the TMS9900 family, before I guess most people on this forum were born. Free to the person who comes up with the best reason for wanting it....I'll pay the shipping costs.... Regards, Steve abecedarian and SirPatrick 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think at least 4 of the views on this thread are mine. ;-) I owned a TI-99/4A back in the early/mid 80's. I find it curious Tandy would pick up the publishing rights for a processor they never used. The TMS990 and 9900 had HUGE advantages over the 8086 and 8088, like separate data and address buss.. 16 bit as opposed to 8 bit.... the 9918 vdp was a 'marvel' if you will, allowing the various video modes it did and sprites while permitting "background" video sources. One could theoretically play a video through the chip and overlay graphics on top.... veryalive 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski 94 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That would go.great witg my trs-80 coco but alas it would sit for a bit before i could find a project for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 It would look really nice next to my genuine Intel 80386 programmer's handbook, which goes into bit-level depth on how to optimize code for the original 386 processor. Does that count? :grin: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G0XAR 19 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 This is so difficult. But given that JSolarski has the hardware and might do something practical with the book he wins. Dude, send me your address and I'll ship it to you. Regards, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

izdane 6 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I would really appreciate this book. I am a 12 year old kid from Canada who is just starting out with micro-controllers so this would really help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
