I'm looking for hardware programming information about pc compatibles.
Particularly the DMA, interrupt controller, and hard and floppy disk
controllers, although any information about other hardware anyone has
would be welcome.

I've asked around, and so far have been unable to find any references
containing information on how to program the above devices which 
surprises me. Every book I've seen tells you how to program screens
and serial ports, and that's it!

If anyone can point me at a file to ftp on internet, or the name of any
books that contain this sort of information I would be gatefull

I apologise inadvance if this is an FAQ. Please reply to me through mail,
and I will summarise anything interesting I get on the newsgroup.
