completed realmode emulator that is to be used with aux/vga -m vesa ...
to enable the graphics card thru vesa bios in an attempt to make 8i
work (thanks russ ;-)).

tarball can be found in /n/sources/contrib/cinap_lenrek/realemu.tgz

needs the patch /n/sources/patch/vesa-softscreen-resize applied as the
vgavesa driver has to go thru the emulated /dev/realmode instead of
the short path by calling realmode() directly.

more details are in the notes file.

there is a incomplete list of graphics cards this was tested on in the
vgalist file included in the tarball.  (have like 5 working pci graphics
cards here that i'm too lazy to hookup again to get the vid/did numbers)

you might hit unimplemented instructions or code spinning in endless
loops due to lack of proper system port emulation (i just return 0 on IN[BWL]
instructions for restricted ports right now).
