Douglas Hall IS GOOD enough for passing the exam. u dont require to make notes wen u have this book. everything is given precisely in a brief. For the programming part dont go for tution. Just practice on ur own. I did everything on my own n got the outputs in practicals. Those mine who wen for tution didnt get the output:lol:.

there is no need to study much advanced in this subject. that book is sufficient

by the way! which sem r u in???

For 8086:

Hall is good, but lengthy.

A.K.Ray is pretty good, That's what I used to read...nice and precise!

^^ :-| Well... as long as it works... it is a good thing... I have seen the same code behaving different on different kits (which all are in perfectly good condition according to teachers)... PLUS, go and ask on #electronics on freenode.net you will know...

Well i had this subject in my 4th Sem and now I'm in my 7thSem. I had suppli in it so had to give its paper last sem. Hoping to clear it. I had R.S Gaonkar for 8085 and Gibson for 8086. B.Ram a compendium of both. BTW Gibson has whole 8086 Instruction set printed at the back.

Eh, did you mean disease or decease? 8085 is obsolete stuff, only for small hobby projects it could be useful. Its not even got a multiplying/dividing instruction man. :confused:
