The last edition was published in 2001 I think, and I'm not sure how up to date it was even then. It's probably still the best all-in-one general reference for all the bits and pieces that make up the 'legacy' PC-compatible hardware platform. The usefulness of that is fading however, and could even lead you down the wrong path through omission of newer superceding interfaces. Ah, thanks that's good to know. Is there a better book that's current?Or given that I actually know very little about PC hardware, would it be a good way to start, if I knew that I had to look elsewhere for current info?
