If someone can provide some gas compatible 16bit x86 assembler that
gets the processor into 32bit mode, I have code that understands PCI
bus scanning and mapping. It's for an i960Rx base board, but can be
adapted.

If someone else adds some drivers for keyboard and display, and I can
contribute a multi-threaded run-time, complete with compiler and a TCL
interpreter.
