The Shanley books are very, very good. Depending on how complete you want your library, I also recommend the IBM MCA books, the PCI SIG PCI bus spec, and the PCMCIA SIG PCMCIA specifications. The Microsoft Windows 95 DDK also contains: DDK/PlugPlay/Inc Include files DDK/PlugPlay/Samples Sample PNP code DDK/Docs/Pnp.doc Plug and play specification DDK/Docs/Pnp.hlp Same document in "help file" format There are also PNP documents on the Intel and Microsoft FTP sites. IBM and Apple both have the PReP standard on line. The PReP standard, which is also available in printed form for a miminal fee, describes a number of generic issues regarding ISA/PCI architecture that I have not seen as well covered elsewhere. In addition, the PReP standard formally documents the DOS partitioning schema, including extended partitions, and the majority of the OpenBoot process.
