- Bochs for MorphOS
- -----------------
-
- This is a port of bochs-2000_0325a for MorphOS. Bochs is a very competent emulator for x86 hardware and
- it is compatible enough to run a large number of operating systems including MSDOS, FreeDOS, win3.1, win95, linux x86.
- This port should work according to the original documentation (see the docs-html directory) with a few exceptions:
-
- * You need to install the vga.font that is provided in this archive
-
- * It can be started in a workbench window with: "bochs amigawin". Currently, only textmode is
- supported if the amigawin mode is used on an 8 bit workbench screen. Higher depths work even i graphics mode.
-
- * Without the amigawin argument, a screenmode requester will be opened.
- Please pick a screenmode that will fit all resolutions that you expect to run. The
- screenmode is static at the moment. In amigawin mode, the window will change size depending on the pc resolution.
-
- * To access the floppy drives directly from Bochs you need a unix-style
- device handler like dev-handler or the one coming with xfs. Please read the relevant
- documentation on how to setup access to an amiga device so Bochs can access it as a file.
-
- * Diskfiles can be mounted on the Amiga side with ie xfs. Harddiskfiles should also work but
- I have had no success with that. Tell me if you know how to do it.
-
- * There is some support for PS/2 mouse emulation but it is fully untested as I don't have
- a PS/2 mousedriver for MSDOS (cutemouse doesn't seem to work even for Linux Bochs).
- I hope some user can help me with this.
-
- * The ips setting in .bochsrc should be about 300000 for a BlizzardPPC/200 and 500000-600000 a for CStormPPC.
-
- * cdrom support is not yet implemented
-
- * sb16 emulation is not yet implemented
-
- Please keep in mind that this is a first port. Work is in progres and reports are welcome indeed.

- Friendly,
