Bochs - IA32 (x86) PC emulator

Bochs is a highly portable free IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS.

Currently, bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or Pentium CPU. Bochs is capable of running most operating systems inside the emulation including GNU, GNU/Linux, *BSD, FreeDOS, MSDOS and Windows 95/NT. Recent CVS versions after 1.4.1 release can emulate an x86-64 CPU.
