Intel publishes some fairly good stuff themselves:

	210498	$22	286 Programming Reference Manual
	121960	$16	286 Operating Systems Writer's Guide
	231252	free?	Introduction to the 386
	230985	$25	386 Programming Reference Manual

I have all but the last one of these.  The second explains in pretty fair
detail how Intel expects people to use the 286's rather complicated protection
scheme.  The third explains the 386 architecture in general, the last I expect
explains it in detail.  Order any of this from Intel at 800-548-4725.
