It may not be in the XT TechRef!. Remember the XT motherboard BIOS does 
not support a hard disk, it just supports BIOS extension ROMs. The hard 
disk BIOS is on the hard disk controller card.

That is covered (with BIOS source) in the Options and Adapters TechRef. 
Old XT TechRefs will also contain it (old == before the O&A TechRef, I 
think), later ones, like the one I have, do not.

SO you might well really need an O&A TechRef.
