do you have the MindShare Inc. book on PnP? I've never looked inside it,
but if its half as good as their other books (Pentium Processor System
Architecture, etc.) it would probably prove invaluable:
Plus and Play System Architecture,
MindShare Inc., Tom Shanley, Don Anderson
Addison Wesley Longman

Designed as a companion volume to the official hardware design
guide for Windows 95, this book provides a detailed hardware and
software description of the Plug and Play technology that is
integrated into Windows 95 and will soon appear in other operating
systems, including Windows NT. In addition to coverage of ISA and
EISA Plug and Play, PCMCIA and PCI are also discussed. Tom
Shanley provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject
including:
Legacy ISA drawbacks
Plug and Play EISA and ISA cards
Windows 95 PCI problems
Windows 95 PCMCIA enhancements
Plug and Play terminology defined
Description of configuration registers
Resource data structure
Plug and Play BIOS
Device ID format and Windows 95 device IDs
