Sorry for replying so late, I was out of the net for two weeks!
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.
