The PC Tech Ref has, between the BIOS listing, the circuit diagram, and
the I/O space and memory maps, enough detail to allow you to figure out
where the 8259 is and how to get at it; the Intel Component Data Catalog
(one of the quasi-freebie spec books) has detailed programming
information on the chip. Between the two I was able to write a working
asynch interrupt handler, with help from a friend.
