I wish this resource existed 10-15 years ago. I remember scavenging the internet for information about OS development, assembly and everything.
I think in the end the best resource I found was something called "DS-OS", a basic assembly OS implementation. Looks like it's online at http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22083 http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22083
This stuff got me into lower-level (than VB) computer programming-- good memories.

Unfortunately it was essentially samizdat until 1996. But it's an excellent work, and e.g. taught me pointers when the K&R chapter on pointers and arrays didn't work for me.
