Build your own Microcomputer in .pdf

[Aaron Teeling]

Help!

This happens when I'm in a rush.

I bought all the components for Walter Fullers 8088 Single Board Computer project outlined in his book: Build Your Own Microcomputer (ISBN 0827370695). Taped it up in a box.

Packed it in the duffle and promptly caught my next ship. I opened the box and realized grabbed the wrong book.

Does anyone have a .pdf copy of this text? My copy is sitting on the desk (so I won't forget to pack it) at home.

Hi Aaron

I have been looking for a few months for a hard copy. Would you be willing to lend me or sell me yours? I can either scan or take photos of it to make it available afterwards, and obviously return it undamaged, I'll cover the shipping costs (I'm on Canada)

Thanks

@nickaws welcome to the forum!

This post is over 12 years old, so it is unlikely that the OP will respond, especially since he hasn’t visited since 2017.

Would that make it a "vintage' vintage computer forum post?

Groan!

Yes, yes it would.

It looks like @RichCini did a design based on the SBC in this book, and published it on GitHub:

GitHub - RichCini/BYO8088: Implementation of an 8088 minimum mode SBC based on the one from Walter Fuller

This book is great! I recently wanted to add serial and parallel ports to my homebrew stack computer and the no-nonsense "here's how to do it" explanations had me up and running in no time using the venerable 8255 and 8251 IC's.
