    Lost my TASM manuals

    My TASM 4.1 included outstanding reference manuals which I used for firewood one cold night. Is there something decent online that covers 386/7 instruction set. I did my own search and downloaded some stuff from intel, sun, ms,.. but what I found was disappointing. What are you girls using?

    Re: Lost my TASM manuals

    At the time I mostly use the "Pentium® Processor Family Developer’s Manual - Volume 3: Architecture and Programming Manual" from Intel (order # 241430) that I downloaded as a PDF from the Intel site. I don't have a link to the download anymore, but the file name is 24143004.pdf, and there shouldn't be too many files around with that name. This document exactly contains what I wanted: the processor's instruction set.

    It's about the Pentium 4 though, not the 386/387. The documentation on the current Intel CPUs is available at Intel's site too, of course, but it's 6 (!) volumes, two of which are comprised of two files (if I recall it correctly), and I couldn't figure out which one of them contained the documentation on the instruction set. So I settled for the Pentium 4 manual, which is enough for me.

    It only covers the CPU as such, though, not the stuff specific to the assembler (directives and stuff). I have different docs about that for the MASM I use.

    But I don't know where to find something like that for TASM.

    HTH at least a bit...
