You are right, it's propably the best available. But don't forget that this
bug has a LOT of HORRIBLE bugs that make some examples and chapters about
special chipsets almost useless. If you tend to go deeper into programming
a special chipset, there is no way around getting the hardware doc from
the manufactorer directly.

List of the most bad typos/bugs:

	PVGA1A/WD90Cxx:	Banking described two times. One time the meaning of
			PRA & PRB was exchanged and DEAD WRONG.

	TVGA8900:	Banking in the 64k mode completely wrong.
