- There is documentation on the FDC and sample code in this book:
- Sanchez, Julio, and Maria Canton. IBM Microcomputers: A Programmer's
- Handbook. McGraw-Hill, 1990. ISBN 0-07-054594-4.

- You can also ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/msdos/sysutl/-
- bios-asm.arc. This is source code for a BIOS, looks much the
- same as the code in the above book.
