[net.micro.68k] 68000 books: A list of recommended books

ix408@sdcc6.UUCP (Cris Rys) (04/05/85)

Ok, here are a list of books in response to the
question "What are the best 68000 books?"

"Programming the 68000" by Lance Levanthal
Osborne/McGraw-Hill ISBN 0-931988-62-4
This is a tutorial book, praised by many, and hated by a few.
I've gotten the opinion that this is *not* a good reference book.
But a good book if you are not familiar with assembly language.

"Programming the M68000" by Tim King & Brian Knight,
Addison-Wesley,1983 ISBN 0-201-11730-4
I didn't hear too much about this book.  If you  can find it,
then it probably is a good book considering the source that
replied to me.

"M68000 16/32-Bit Microprocessor Programmer's Reference Manual"
Prentice-Hall, 1984 ISBN 0-13-566795-X
			 0-13-541400-8 {limited edition?}
			 0-13-541392-3 {special edition?}
As I was told by many, this is the *Official* reference manual,
for the 68000. Not only a good reference manual, it was recommended
by a few as a good book to learn from. If you know assembly language
already, I think this might suffice.


Any additions to this list are welcome.
