I don't think that such a resource exists; at least I'm not aware of
anything beyond what's in the FAQ.

Theoretically, the DPMI spec and the Intel Pentium manuals should be all 
you need.  If that's not enough, I suggest to ask specific questions here. 
This issue is too broad to ask general questions.
