Actually they seem to be timing-compatible, so I'm not sure they are 3 Ghz 8086s.
just log bus accesses and cache it all, saving you the effort of emulating the BIOS all over again...
You would think that might work. It doesn't. :-(
start emulating the VGA bios. (Although I suppose the best thing to do would really just be to get the specs from the hardware manufacturer, or to disassemble the VGA bios and reimplement it in C!)
- get specs: impossible - disassemble and rewrite in C: get sued.
we've been through this discussion before. I used to be on the "we'll get specs" side of this argument. For the most part, I was wrong. So I am now, with regret, on the emulation side.
