Features: This book comprehensively and systematically explains the relevant content of microcomputer communication and interfaces. Guided by practicality, it not only introduces the basic knowledge of computer communication and interface technology but also emphasizes how these concepts are applied in practice. The content of the book is divided into four main parts. The first part primarily covers the basic knowledge of data communication and the fundamental concepts of establishing communication; the second part focuses on microcomputer interfaces, emphasizing several commonly used chips, including the programmable interrupt controller Intel 8259A, the programmable timer/counter 8253, and the programmable peripheral interface 8255A, among others; the third part discusses bus technology, including serial communication buses such as RS-232C, USB, and PCI; the fourth part primarily covers device drivers and how to develop virtual device drivers, including the basic knowledge required for VxD development, how to use software VToolsD for VxD development, and finally, how to develop virtual device drivers on USB and PCI buses. The main content of the book reflects the latest technologies and knowledge in the field of computer communication and interfaces. This book is suitable as a textbook for microcomputer communication and interfaces for majors such as Computer Science and Technology, Automation, and others in higher education institutions. It can also serve as a self-study textbook and reference for computer professionals. The book is accompanied by an electronic teaching plan, which can be freely downloaded from the China Water Conservancy and Electric Power Press website at http://www.waterpub.com.cn/softdown/.
