Ralf Brown is a co-author of the book, so I am sure what ever
is in the book, interrupt wise, is in the RBIL.  However, the book
does go into more details than other references I have seen, at
least for the subjects I have read.

If you go to
 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201570645/foreveryoungsoft
there are three new and 13 used starting at .21 USD for the
1st edition.  The 2nd edition has 1 new and 11 used starting
at .89 USD at
 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/020163287X/foreveryoungsoft

At .89 USD, it would be worth the risk to order multiple copies
and keep the on in best condition.

Ben
