Great book! This book has not yet been published in the UK. Does anyone know when it will be, how much it will cost? I've also seen a book by Tabak called simply "RISC systems", at 21 pounds. It seems to be basically a survey of RISC chips and systems. Can anyone recommend this? --- Conor O'Neill, Software Group, INMOS Ltd., UK.

I bought it from a leaflet that came with an IEE magazine, but I have seen it in the local book-shop, Heffers, also priced at 24.95. --Ashley.
