| 705725 | 2008-09-16 10:56:00 | this may sound crazy and your thinking there are easier ways to do this but i have acquired an 8086 CPU quite a while ago and im wondering if someone can obtain schematics to build a (somewhat) working computer based using this CPU or similar, im not desperate but i would like to do something with the 8086 other than let it sit in its antistatic tube along with a floppy drive controller :nerd:i might try my hand at assembler or :drool:droolmachine code |

| 705726 | 2008-09-16 21:37:00 | What kind of computer are you intending to build - a PC XT clone for reminiscing, or just something to tinker with? If the latter, there's probably better CPU's out there - lots of Flash-based microcontrollers such as PIC18Fxxx, AVR ATmega, ARM core ones from several manufacturers, etc. I have access to a couple of Intel 80C188EB20's if you're interested - similar to 8086, except 8-bit-only data interface (but 20MHz speed rating might compensate for that). This is one of the embedded series, so has built-in interrupt controller & 2 UARTS. Needs less glue logic that a 8086/8088 - just a couple of address latches to demultiplex CPU's data/address bus, plus some RAM & ROM of course. |

| 705729 | 2008-09-18 03:08:00 | i also have a Intel P82072 floppy drive controller which is compatible with the 8086 that i have so interfacing a floppy drive shouldnt be a problem | williamF (115) | ||
| 705730 | 2008-11-08 07:30:00 | just a quick bump up. any Ideas from anyone? | williamF (115) | ||
| 705731 | 2008-11-09 11:00:00 | Hi William, I don't know if this will be off any use to use, but there is a project book available, . amazon . com/8088-Project-Book-Robert-Grossblatt/dp/0830631712/ref=pd_sim_b_1/184-4375584-1414120" target="_blank">www . amazon . com This one is for the 8088 series, but i have heard it is very good . . amazon . com/8086-8088-80286-Assembly-Language/dp/0132469197" target="_blank">www . amazon . com That one deals with the Assembly side of it . I am in a similar situation to you . I am wanting to build a breadboard model of an 8088 . I have done a lot of work through University on the AT Mega series architecture, but nothing on the Intel's . |

I am in a similar situation to you. I am wanting to build a breadboard model of an 8088. I have done a lot of work through University on the AT Mega series architecture, but nothing on the Intel's. i'll have a look, 8086 and the 8088 are basically the same with maybe a few minor differences i may see if i can get a copy or look around the library... even if i can get it reading a rom or disk and twiddle lights from the data and address bus :nerd: until i can hack a few ISA video cards to initalize and show something vaugly like a PC POST screen |
