- Actually you want a book that describes IBM PC/AT architecture.
- You should be able to find dozens of such books at oyur local
- computer store - just browse through them and choose the one that
- seems best for your needs.

- If you *really* want to know about the architecture then you could
- do worse than to get hold of a copy of the original IBM PC/AT
- Technical Reference manual. You might also find a good book that
- describes the PC BIOS useful - Phoenix has published books describing
- both the PC and PC/AT BIOS and the PS/2 BIOS.
