My copy is out right now, perhaps we can get sp7040!jsp to look up the
publisher info, he has my copy!  (Welcome to the Well of Souls Lending
Library :-).  Another book you may find useful is _The IBM PC From the
Inside Out_, by Murrary Sargent III and Richard L. Shoemaker,
Addison-Wesly, 1986.  ISBN 0-201-06918-0.  I got it and the device
drivers book from:

		OPAMP Technical Books
		1033 North Sycamore Avenue
		Los Angeles, CA 90038
		+1 213 464 4322

They do mail order, and they take MasterCard, VISA, and American
Express (that I know of, they may take others too).  It is a VERY GOOD
bookstore; if you can't find it at home, call them!

(One of the worst parts about living behind the Zion curtain is that
the bookstores in Utah are horrible).
