Bochs (an IBM 80x86 emulator) is progressing along very quickly, with
more features added in every day. The creator of Bochs, Kevin Lawton,
is now adding dynamic translation into the Bochs cpu core, which should
give it over a 10x performance improvement over the current incarnation.
Bochs/2 for OS/2 Warp, ported by Craig Ballantyne, is also getting
additional features rapidly added to it. I have been speaking
with Craig, and he has so far added direct printer access, floppy
access, with more direct hardware access on the way, such as giving
Bochs direct access to the video card. These improvements along with
the dynamic translation, should give OS/2 users the ability to run
Windows 95/98 fast enough for some tasks. Craig's web site is located
at www.guisoft-corp.com. Bochs is available for many different
platforms such as Windows, OS/2, Linux, BeOS, Macintosh 68k/PPC,
and several more ports that have been written since the incarnation
of Bochs. The Bochs homepage is located at www.bochs.com.
