Lecture notes: Introduction to Microprocessors

These are the lecture notes for the HND1 `Introduction to Microprocessors' as given by Daniel F. Smith, March--May 1995, School of Electronic, Communication and Electrical Engineering, University of Plymouth, UK.

This was a 6 lecture course, designed to give a grounding in 68000 assembler techniques neccessary for the HND2 Microprocessors course.

The notes are in PostScript format, so you will need an appropriate viewer or printer.
