Phoenix Technologies have produced references on the "System Bios" (PC/XT),
"Compatibilitiy Bios" (PS/2) and "Advanced Bios" (PS/2).  They're 
published by Addison Wesley.  I've only read the ABIOS one; it is rather more
complete and rather cheaper than the IBM Tech Ref. (About $30 US).
The ISBN for the ABIOS is 0-201-51805-8.
