The Revolutionary Guide to Assembly Language Source Code Disk

[gordon]

Does anyone have the disk that came bundled with The Revolutionary Guide to Assembly Language?  I bought a used copy and it was missing the disk.

I have the book and just checked that the 3.5" floppy is broken. I will give $20 to charity if someone provides a download link for the source code.  8)

Unfortunately I did not achieve success with these betaarchive guys ... and KarlG just banned me on his website .. Although there is a second KarlG, but it seems to me that this is definitely not the one we need.
KarlG 1 - https://cncwerk.de/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
KarlG 2 - https://www.kguttag.com/about-karl-guttag/

I haven't written to the second Karl!

Good investigation LiaoMi, although I had no success pursuing the leads.  :(
Amazon has announcements for the book in New condition although expensive for something so dated. I am out.

It looks a little bit DOSish, though:

Thank you Tedd! I was almost believing it could not be found.
I will dispatch the $20.00 to charity, or may be I could make it $30.00, in your honor.  :t

How strange for code from 1993 :icon_eek:

No honours necessary, it was literally a two minute search.

In 1993, I had already over 5 years of experience in 32-bit assembly. I wonder what makes 16-bit code so fascinating 8)

There are many reasons for the 16-bit Intel ASM be always taught in colleges (in detriment of some non-frills high-level jingle masqueraded as ASM).
One of them is that you will never understand the 32-bit x86 if you don't understand the 16-bit ASM x86 - something will always be missing.
