I am interested in the hardware and software(programming) specs
of the XT/AT bus as well as the new EISA standard.  I would like
to understand the interrupt priorities, board to motherboard or
board to board communication, etc.  I would like also to know if
there are any sets of chips that can be used as bus interfaces 
for building custom boards.

Can anybody recommend a source of technical info?  Are there any
books describing the requested info, or do I have to sign my first
born over to IBM to get that info ?

Any help would be appreciated.  Since this newsgroup is cluttered
enough, send e-mail, and if there is enough interest I can
summarize.

	Thanks,
