This would be GREAT! I have started doing something similar but my
patches are only partial. Would you like to submit them, so that we can
replace my stuff ?

Well, this is probably less important since the emulator is (relatively)
slow anyways and works fine in X. Running on a terminal is much more
important because it allows to run it remotely.

That's curious, a memory mapped card ! Isn't access to I/O enough ?
My patches already let you use I/O ports in the range specified
in the .pcemurc

Using this, I have run a lot of stuff, even interlnk/intersvr between a
couple of PCemu's and a PCemu and a real dos machine (so that the dos
machine could "mount" the Unix file system across the serial port using
interlnk and the pcemu redirector... performance ? did you say
performance ? )
