No, the link is working here.

Argh, I knew it, looks like the ladies have other plans for me today

Thanks for the quick reply!

prowler · 23 March 2010, 00:49

Hey copperkid,

Were you looking for something specific on that site?

Maybe I could grab it for you and upload it?

davideo · 23 March 2010, 00:53

@prowler

Copperkid could nearly walk down the road and fetch it

copperkid · 23 March 2010, 00:59

Wow, that's why I love this site, people are so kind!

Anyway no thanks, I was just browsing around for random assembly programming material and peeking here and there, so I have no specific request.
..and I just found the "Coders Tutorial" forum, probably there I can find more stuff than I can afford to read in a few weeks time

copperkid · 23 March 2010, 04:16

Ehm, actually I'd have a request.
After documenting myself for a few hours seems the best books about assembly programming on the amiga are "Total Amiga Assembler" and "Mastering Amiga Assembler" by Paul Overaa.

I saw the topic popped up at regular times here on EAB but seems no one was ever able to produce a scan of those books... did this change recently?

I definitely want to buy the real books but I couldn't find them as well

Josh · 23 March 2010, 11:22

Still had a deeper look through the ebooks I have left yet - but sorry - nothing of your request between them.

Cheers Josh

@copperkid

Compute's assembler book is available on the EAB file server.

I also have "Amiga Assembly Language Programming" by Jake Commander (but I don't think it is as approachable as Paul Overaa's writing style)

Unfortunately I don't have the books you are after either - seems they must be quite rare.

copperkid · 23 March 2010, 15:33

@Josh, thanks anyway!

Yep, they seem quite rare (but it's strange no one scanned them yet being referenced as the best ones in many programming posts).

@Calgor, I got the Compute's one already, could you please "zone" the other? (hope I'm using the correct language, I'm still new here

)

pmc · 23 March 2010, 15:42

@ copperkid - you should be able to get away without the Paul Overaa books, I'd recommend:

68000, 68010, 68020 Primer by Kelly-Bootle & Fowler
680x0 Programming By Example by Kelly-Bootle
Assembly Language and Systems Programming For The MC6800 Family by William Ford and William Topp (covers 68040, FPU and MMU that the earlier books don't...)

for learning 68000 assembly and

Amiga System Programmer's Guide by Dittrich, Gelfand & Schemmel

alongside the Hardware Reference Manual (easily available as .txt and .pdf) for learning the Amiga Hardware.

All these should be fairly easily obtainable from online bookshops.

copperkid · 23 March 2010, 16:31

Thanks for the advice, I'll take a look into those.
I was looking more for Amiga specific assembly books than generic 68k ones though, I'm hacking in assembly on quite a few platforms already, so writing (bad) code that works it's not a problem, optimizations can come later... now I just want my old school demo to get going!

And even if now it's secondary (imho) I don't want to overlook writing good assembly code, In fact just today I got from amazon US this one:
"Microcomputer Architecture and Programming: The 68000 Family", John F. Wakerly

You should have woken up and replied earlier PMC!

Mainly my problem now is that I'm on vacation in Japan and even if I find the hardcopy books I won't be able to get them here in a reasonable time, that's why I was looking for some digital version.
I know I know, I should have done this research earlier...

Edit: just bought the System Programmer's Guide for a ridiculous price on amazon US

Josh · 08 April 2010, 13:19

There are a couple of small updates...

- Now there's a new category named "Other" where you will find misc manuals.

- Category eBooks are now fully loadable from the new server (without ). More eBooks coming tonight.

- All new manuals are linked to new server too.

- And of course some new manuals.

Have fun furthermore...

Cheers Josh

EDIT: Category Applications also linked to new server

TCD · 08 April 2010, 13:24

Great update Josh

Melonfish · 08 April 2010, 14:40

Hey Josh, is there anything you need on the site manual wise?
i've recently dug out a fair amount of stuff and if there's specifics your after i can have a route around.

Josh · 08 April 2010, 17:12

Great news:

All manuals are now linked to new server. (Thx TCD

)

Only update-pages are further within mediafiles too.

Have fun.

Cheers Josh

PS @Melonfish: I will write you a private message...

TCD · 08 April 2010, 17:13

You're welcome Josh

Yeah! Sensible Soccer manual, that's great. Thanks Josh! Now SWOS would be nice

Josh · 10 April 2010, 18:35

Seems there are a couple of links where the files does not exist.
If anybody of you has found such link please contact me - I will correct it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers Josh

@gogoac: Please!
