I recommend "Extending DOS, 2nd ed." edited by Ray Duncan, 
Addison-Wesley, 1994 (ISBN 0-201-56798-9).  Another good reference (not 
only on the issue in point) is the "PC Magazine Programmer's Reference: 
The Processor and Coprocessor" by Robert L. Hummel, Ziff-Davis Press, 
1992 (ISBN 1-56276-016-5)
