I just downloaded the 0.5.93.1 and it seems to be working.

Yeah, I've been playing with it also.

It doesn't actually emulate every instruction. It'll actually run most of
the code directly. So, it can run stuff at very nearly machine speed.

I'm having problems with bochs. It keeps crashing with:

  bochs: panic, PIC: write to port 20h = 02

I decided to give vmware a try rather than figure out why bochs isn't
working.
