Subject: [9fans] x86 emulator
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 18:11:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2a76142d15e4d662b3a85bef8d3edb5e@swtch.com> (raw)

If you want a starting point that isn't enormous,
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/8i has an x86 emulator
that I've used to dump the vesa modes on video
cards before.  It didn't work with mode switching
though, probably because it needed to do something
priviledged.  (It was definitely trying to turn off
interrupts!)
