Sinossi

This book bridges the gap between the computer picture books with little real information and the PC technical reference intended for engineers. In a concise yet thorough manner all the workings of the IBM-type PC are explained, including all components and peripherals. The reader will understand how a PC works and make better buy/upgrade decisions, be more productive and less dependant on others for help with their PC.
