You might consider to buy some books... they're still available on fairs.
MSX Handboek voor gevorderden (purple book), for example is a very good
(read: useful) one.
It has a lot of info in it concerning hardware, the BIOS, RAM-adresses,
Basic-routines, ASCII-table etcetera. It has only one big mistake: the
subslot-selection is explained completely wrong. The subslot-selection is
very similar to the primary slotselection, only using adres #FFFF instead of
port #A8.
There are three books I use a lot:
1. A book about the Z80 processor (by Rodnay Zaks, with the lightning
picture on it) describing every instruction, or rather, the complete
processor (incl. more 'advanded' subjects like timing or Z80 instruction
processing etc.) in detail.
2. The MSX Handboek voor gevorderden I just talked about for every detail
about the BIOS, RAM adresses, etc.
3. A hardcopy of the VDP cursus of Stefan Boer. Very useful indeed!
And ofcourse I sometimes use additional docs like the Dos2 documentation,
and OPL4 documentation, but those are used quite occasionally.
