I am also making a pmode floppy driver, so i know your problem, here are my top links:

Some ASM drivers:

Theres a asm floppp driver in this os:

First thing you need to set up in your OS is your floppy int
and timer int, then i would look at the most used int 13h functions and start making emulating them in pmode, like reset etc.
