I found some interesting information on a WINE's developer page and other sites: * Ralph Brown's Page: "A comprehensive listing of interrupt calls, I/O ports, memory locations, and far-call interfaces for IBM PCs and compatible machines, both documented and undocumented. More than six megabytes of information in ASCII text files! " ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html *Partial source code of a msdos clone. The source code looks like it could save a lot of experimentation as to how dos works in bizarre situations. Note that the source code is copyrighted. Do not copy code from there -- use it only for determining how dos is supposed to work and recall that the author might have gotten it wrong occasionally. ftp://ftp.std.com/pub/rxdos/ *DOS extenders in the x2ftp archive (some interesting docs around, too) ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/pmode ftp://ftp.ibp.fr/pub/pc/x2ftp And finally, interesting, but not useful, there is the page for a 32 bit DOS from Russia (commercial product): http://www.pts.mipt.ru/ Pedro. > Jonathan >
