What you want is a copy of _Beneath Apple DOS_ by Don Worth
and Pieter Lechner.  I bought my (used) copy by posting a
"Want To Buy" ad on comp.sys.apple2.marketplace,
and I've heard you can buy new copies still from "The Byte Works",
505-898-8183, http://hypermall.com/byteworks/.  It is an
incredibly useful book, even if you already know a lot of the
basics.
