I am looking for a book/reference that explains the inner workings of a computer. I am interested in conceptual understanding of representation and processing of data : what/how/why/where of ROM, RAM, OS, BIOS, address, interrupts, bugs (do they really choke the chip ?) and so on ... I will prefer to read something that is written in plain english and does not make me feel like R2D2. Is there some book that is written in the spirit of 'Fantastic Voyage' full of bites ??? Thanks for any suggestions. Bharat Dave
