I'm in need of a book on Intel's x86 line. Because my current project
requires generating a certain kind of assembler, the information
provided in such books as 80386/80286 Assembly Language Programming
(McGraw-Hill, Inc. 1986) isn't fully adequate for my purposes. To be
more precise, I need information on the 'internal representation' of
the instruction set. This term isn't probably the right one to use in
Intel world, so I'll provide an example. Given that there is an operand
'move', which copies the contents of a register to another, and we have
the following instruction in an assembly language program:
 
    move register1, register2

The 'internal representation' of this instruction might be 0x56750102.
That is, 'internal representation' is 'what the instruction looks in
memory'.
 
I would be especially interested in information that might be provided in
electronic form, but I realize that this is more a hope than actual
possibility :-(.

P.S. I have used the term x86 line a bit loosely - I take 8088 and 8086
to be part of the processor set.

Thank you,
Risto
