This folder contains emulator for 8086 binaries of Collapse OS. The bulk of
it is a fork of Fake86 by Mike Chambers.
`forth` is an imaginary hardware used for userspace development and testing.
This machine has an imaginary interrupt API and does not conform to PC/AT.
`pcat` is a very simple PC/AT emulator. The BIOS interrupt hooks implemented in
it only cover Collapse OS' own needs.
## Requirements
You need `curses` to build the `forth` executable.
## Build
Run `make` and it builds the `forth` and `pcat` interpreters.
## Usage
The `./forth` executable here works like the one in `/cvm`, except that it runs
under an emulated 8086 machine instead of running natively. Refer to
`/cvm/README` for details.
`pcat` needs to be suppied a path to a floppy disk image with a proper MBR.
`disk.bin` provided by the `pcat` recipe is sufficient.
