(Windows, Linux. Runs well on Mac via Wine.)
It emulates lots of specific pieces of historic PC hardware. Not cycle-accurate, but it's good enough to get roughly the correct speed for the CPU, graphics card you pick, etc.
- johansch 9y agoAs an example; it does a very neat impersonation of the Amstrad PC1512 (my first PC, back in 1989) including a faithful rendering of its unique 16 color CGA variation. And unlike Dosbox, which doesn't try to run things at the proper speed, the right feeling is there...
- gattilorenz 9y agoThere's also PCE (I hate these names, honestly): http://www.hampa.ch/pce/pce-ibmpc.html http://www.hampa.ch/pce/pce-ibmpc.html It even offers a download with Microsoft Xenix 8086, and even one with PC/IX, which is actually the Unix you could get from IBM itself. Now, if anyone can provide a disk image with UCSD Pascal (one of the operating systems originally available for the IBM PC), that'd be super cool.
