You can get the official Plug-and-Play documentation from an archive of the Microsoft FTP site (The original has been down since late 2015):

https://web.archive.org/web/20180116205211/http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/misc/ftp.microsoft.com/developr/drg/Plug-and-Play/Pnpspecs/

These documents are self-extracting MS-Word files describing the industry (MS) specifications for PNP on BIOS, SCSI, Peripherals, etc...

You can combine that with the links on this page from Microsoft circa 2003: https://web.archive.org/web/20030207142304/http://www.microsoft.com:80/hwdev/tech/PnP/default.asp

If there are any files on that page not preserved, you can often just google for them. Same for finding newer versions of the files than the frozen-in-time FTP mirror above.

Craig Hart has a good page on PNP programming at http://web.archive.org/web/20080829130750/http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802 (archive of http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/)
