In Alan Clement's noted student-friendly style, it covers core topics including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then continues with a discussion of the related topics of computer peripherals, the hardware aspects of the operating system, and data communications. This accessible text covers both the 68000 and ARM architectures in a tutorial/lab-based style suitable for a variety of courses. All chapters in this third edition have been rigorously updated. Powerful new Windows-based simulation software allows students to visualize the design of digital circuits. The chapter on RISC has been completely rewritten to include the ARM computer, and the tutorial-based introduction to assembly language now includes many examples. http://www.digitalguru.com/dgstore/product.asp?sku=0198564546&dept%5Fid=287&ac%5Fid=68&accountnumber=&couponnumber= ====================================== SEARCHSOLARIS.COM WEB LINK OF THE DAY ====================================== "Sun hardware reference" A fine place to look for information about older or used Sun-badged hardware.

Sure, they might be able to make a call or two, but the authorities usually catch up with them. Take Chippy the chimp at Britain's Blair Drummond Safari Park, for example. After picking his keeper's pocket of a new mobile phone, Chippy thought he'd make a couple of speed-dial prank calls. Zoo officials couldn't figure who was calling them until one of them yelled into their phone, causing Chippy to give up his identity with a startled shriek.
