Example: IBM PC, Intel
8088/8086
ä Processor
ä Intel 8088 - PC, XT
ä 20 bit address bus
ä 8 bit data bus
ä 8086 => 16 bit data bus, so it executes more
quickly, fewer cycles needed to load data
ä Memory, example 1 Megabyte (1 MB)
ä Memory map
ä 00000 - 9FFF RAM - interrupt vectors, DOS and
user program space
ä A0000 - BFFFF RAM - video display memory
ä C0000 - FFFFF ROM BIOS, boot ROM
ä Input/Output
ä Parallel printer interface (can send bits in parallel)
ä Serial communications (one bit at a time)
ä Keyboard - parallel interface
ä CRT,  Disk controllers, add-on boards....
