Not just any 8086s, though... 3.0ghz 8086s :) I can see running an old ISA vga 
card, maybe a PCI crapcard, but not a 3d accel. On the flip side, you could 
just log bus accesses and cache it all, saving you the effort of emulating 
the BIOS all over again... then if something is not what you expect, you just 
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!)
