I've got a piece of hardware here with an embedded 80186 that I'd like to emulate, if I didn't have to spend much time on it. That's kind of what I was looking at here. Then someone mentioned adding 286 support to pcemu and I thought this might be a starting point, having some 80386 support etc... > >What we _need_ is for the kernel vm86 stuff to happen so that DOScmd and how.
