	Hi, I'm looking for a bible for hacking IBM PC's.
I don't know which books are good so I need recommendations.
I saw Peter Norton's programmer's Guide for the IBM PC,
is that any good? I need a book that contains the entire
PC architect, the specifications, the system calls, the
memory map, the port designs, etc., including data
storage device, video adaptor, and in a word, everything.
It's ok not to have a circuits diagram, as I don't want
to hack down to the hardware level (soldering iron?).
But else I need something that's truly comprehensive.
	Also, does anyone know of a good assembler?
I have the microsoft version, but that's about it.
Is there any dis-assembler in the market? How good is it?

	Thanx for any recommendations!
