Could somebody reccomend a good reference book for the Pc's.
It should cover :
 DIfferent PC architectures, Including 80386, MCA and EISA.
 Floppy Drives, Controllers, Video Cards, I/O Poprts : Diagnostics
   and standard pinouts.
 Hard Disks ESDI, SCSI, etc.
 
And Everything else that would make me understand the inards of IBM PC
Clones downto the board level - jumper/dip switch settings on standard
boards. Ways to diagnose what is working and what isn't without having
to swap boards.

If I get enough responses I'll summarize.
I've seen a few at the book store, but none seemed recent/broad enough.
