   The best book by far, is unfortunatly not being made any
longer.  If you can get your hands on an early _IBM Personal
Computer Hardware Reference Library, Technical Treference_ book,
its worth its weight in gold.  The part number I have on mine is
6936808.  It has full details on registers and port
descriptions.  
   The later book has the serial port and most of the other
hardware descriptions ripped out of it.
