There is a good book by Phoenix (the BIOS people). Published by Addison Wesley,
about $25. Well worth it.

In fact, there are three books:
    XT BIOS     - normal BIOS
    CBIOS       - PS/2 compatibility BIOS (superset of above)
    ABIOS       - PS/2 advanced BIOS (multitasking support)

I forget the exact title but it's in the AW catalogue.
