An 8086 PC emulator, by David Hedley
[This is David Hedley's original README, FreeBSD port comments below]
PC Emulator for Unix and X Windows
As the title suggests, this is a Unix/X windows program which is
designed to emulate a standard 8086 based PC.
The emulator runs at about 8-10MHz 80286 speed on a Sun SparcStation
10/40 (without the -mviking flag) and at about 6MHz 8088 speed on a
33MHz 80486 box running Linux.
I have included a Postscript representation of my project report. It's
a bit out of date now, but it's the closest thing I've got to
documentation! I'll do some kind of latex thing for the next
release....
The program rather hogs the cpu but unmapping the window (iconifying
it) will put it to sleep.

This is the last of the ports PRs assigned to me... and actually a
rather large patchset improving pcemu. I therefore also decided to
bump the version number from 1.01a to 1.01b, David Hedley apparently
abandoned all work on pcemu anyway.
The exact details of Arne's patches can be studied in the PR, it's
something like 50 lines of explanation i don't want to quote in full
here. In short, he submitted a number of improvements and a fix for
the hard disk emulation in pcemu's BIOS. After a review, i decided to
leave the patches verbatim.
In addition and while i was at it, i added something i always ment to
do: the option to dynamically add floppy disks (and now also hard
disks) from within the .pcemurc file, so there's no need to recompile
if you just wanna get access to your floppy from within pcemu.
Comment it out again once you're done.

This is David Hedley's pcemu 8086 PC emulator.
Technically, i consider this an excellent work.
I've made some efforts to make it easier for people get it actually up
& running. This would have required an image of a DOS boot floppy,
which we cannot provide. Instead, i wrote a small bootstrap loader
(basically a small more(1) clone with builtin text) that can be
``booted'' from. It instructs the user how to get the image of a
bootable DOS floppy, and where to find the various files.
(The bootstrap loader requires bcc to be recompiled, but i'm providing
a gzip'ed/uuencoded version in the files directory as well.)
The pkg directory is not yet done. Will follow RSN. :)
