    By far the most complete book I`ve seen on this and DOS function 
calls is "DOS Programmers Reference" by Que publishing.  Make sure it's 
the 4th edition.  It covers just in it's reference section, DOS, BIOS, 
LIM, DPMI, and a host of other software interrupt routines.  Best of all 
the first half of the book is devoted to showing you how to use them. :)

    Another book that I don't have, but others have recommended is I 
think the PC Source Book or something like that.  All you have to do to 
find this one is just look for the largest book on the shelf in your 
favorite book store.. :)  This one, in addition to interrupt reference, 
includes a fairly adiquate i/o port reference covering most of the 
standard i/o port assignments (e.g. vga, fdisk, kdb, etc..)

    The last place you can find such a beast is the afore mentioned 
interrupt list by R. Brown.
