I've also got the Abacus book. I recommend them both, as there are extremely inexpensive ($13.95 and $19.95, respectively), and cover different aspects for programming assembly on the Amiga. I'd also recommend a straight 68000 handbook for reference (there are quite a few out there, but try to find one that fills its pages with examples and techniques, not pages and pages of one long program). There's a new one out called "680X0 Programming by Example" ($17.95), a sequel to "68000, 68010,68020 Primer", with hundreds of examples and practical applications [this was a quote from Ahoy's AmigaUser]. From Howard W. Sams & Company, 317-298-5400. I've got a couple of their books for C and they're pretty good. John Schultz
