Extra Notes: Mitchell Waite is a legendary figure in tech publishing, later founding the Waite Group. This book is a staple for collectors of "Sams" technical books, recognizable by their clean layout and authoritative tone. It is particularly valued by hobbyists who restore first-generation microcomputers, as it explains the hardware logic that modern "plug-and-play" systems have long since automated.
