An excellent book is _Interfacing to the IBM Personal Computer_ by Lewis C.
Eggebrecht, published by Sams.  It covers both the PC and AT bus extensions
and includes lots of schematics.

Another source that might kill two birds at once for you is JDR Microdevices
(see back of any Byte).  They've got a board that comes complete with
circuitry for interfacing to the bus (via and I/O port, I think).  It's
around $40.00 for the PC version.
