This book is a must-have for low level programming, October 26, 2003
Reviewer: Gavin T Olson (Ledyard, CT United States)

The examples in this book will tell you how to control most of the basic hardware on your computer at a low level. Controlling the head and motors on the floppy drive, activating and using XMS, and many more are all explained and include a code example in 4 languages. In addition, each section includes tutorial and background information on that area of computer hardware that explains some of the background that might affect results.

This is basically a cookbook for doing all kinds of neat things with your computer. Has code snippets in C, basic, asm, and Pascal.
