A very good book for this kind of stuff is "8088 Assembler Language Programming: The IBM PC" by David C. Willen and Jeffrey I. Krantz, published by Howard W. Sams & Co., 1983. See pages 90-92 for a good explanation of the 8259 and port 20h. This is an excellent book for concise, usable explanations for many of the internals for the PC. It's old, though, and only covers the PC, not XT's or AT's. But much of the basic hardware configuration is the same on these machines. This book has helped me immeasurably.
