Intel 8088 16-bit computer on a breadboard.

In this video I:
- talk about the memory map of our computer
- build an address decoder using logic gates, to activate two different memory chips depending on the address the CPU wishes to access
- add a RAM memory chip and connect both memories to the address decoder
- talk about interrupts in 8086 and explain the Interrupt Vector Table at the bottom of the RAM
- introduce the Programmable Interrupt Controller (8259) and its role in interrupt handling
- explain the concept of the processor's stack and its importance in the context of interrupt handling
- go into details of the programme used to initialise the processor and the handler of the Non-Maskable Interrupt
- raise the MNI interrupt (using a wire) and analyse the CPUs behaviour in details

You can find there schematics of this computer at every stage of building it during the videos as well as the source code of all the programmes I write for this computer.
