86box (PC emulator)
|
|
|
|
86box is a low level x86 emulator that runs older operating systems
|
|
and software designed for IBM PC systems and compatibles from 1981
|
|
through fairly recent system designs based on the PCI bus.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- Easy to use interface inspired by mainstream hypervisor software.
|
|
- Low level emulation of 8086-based processors up to the Mendocino-era
|
|
Celeron with focus on accuracy.
|
|
- Great range of customizability of virtual machines.
|
|
- Many available systems, such as the very first IBM PC 5150 from 1981,
|
|
or the more obscure IBM PS/2 line of systems based on the Micro
|
|
Channel Architecture.
|
|
- Lots of supported peripherals including video adapters, sound cards,
|
|
network adapters, hard disk controllers, and SCSI adapters.
|
|
- MIDI output to Windows built-in MIDI support, FluidSynth, or emulated
|
|
Roland synthesizers.
|
|
- Supports running MS-DOS, older Windows versions, OS/2, many Linux
|
|
distributions, or vintage systems such as BeOS or NEXTSTEP, and
|
|
applications for these systems.
|
|
|
|
The package includes the ROM images required for emulation.
