Intel 80386 Programmers Reference Manual

1986

(This is not an official Intel document)

Origins

The original source of this manual (INTEL386.TXT), as far as I can tell, is an official Intel source document. I found the original document somewhere on the net (I don't remember where).

This hypertext version of the source document, obviously, is not an official Intel document or product.

Viewing

This manual may be viewed online, or downloaded to your PC and viewed there. I'd suggest downloading it and using it offline - much faster.

When using the manual offline (or online for that matter), start your browser at either the title page or the table of contents.

Title page: manual.htm

Table of contents: toc.htm

Purpose

I converted the manual to HTML because:
(1) I needed a basic 80x86 instruction reference,
(2) the latest and greatest format of the manuals are huge PDF files (on the order of 3-4meg each) and are a pain to sift thru with Acrobat,
(3) I thought it would be a fun project.

Character Set

This manual uses the line drawing character set. Set the fixed width character set in your browser to MS LineDraw (this works in Netscape 2+). Read the About This Manual section for more info.

Conversion Process
Do It Yourself

The About This Manual section also contains info about the conversion, and how you can do it yourself starting with the original text file. Believe it or not, the entire process takes less that 2 minutes to convert INTEL386.TXT to over 130 .HTM files.
