DOScmd doesn't emulate the processor. DOScmd emulates the OS, using a 
feature of the i386 processort which allows you to create a protected 
mode task whihc acts just like a real mode task did on an 8086/8088. 
  Which means that "emulated" processor is YOUR processor. So if you have 
a 486, you get 486 instructions. Remeber, though, that programs (such as 
games) whihc switch into protected mode won't work.
