People have already pointed you at Ralf Brown's wonderful interrupt list
(which BTW is available in webified form at http://ctyme.com/rbrown.htm),
but just to point out the obvious: it doesn't matter! If your emulation is
accurate enough to be useful, DOS will take care of itself. You'll probably
want to provide your own BIOS though, and for that the IBM PC or AT Tech Ref
manuals are wonderful. Computer Reset used to have NOS tech ref books at
very good prices, don't know if that's still true or even if they're still
in business. Anyway, obviously the BIOS is your chance to substitute some
native I/O w/o having to muck with DOS itself.
