Hi Kumar,
There are so many quality emulators/simulators avaiable for Linux.
Talking about full PC emulators, there is bochs ad qemu. But the
pathetic thing about 8086 courses is that they still teach stuff
relying heavily on DOS. It could have been acceptable like 10 years
ago, to an extent. It doesn't make any sense now! There are few books
available in the market that seems to teach 8086 assembly
language and not talk about the DOS 0x21H interrupt!

As part of a laboratory course on introductory assembly programming,
we have to program the 8086 microprocessor to do a few things. The
first part consists of software simulation, while the second part has
a few examples in which the compiled programs are downloaded onto a
microprocessor kit through a serial port and executed on the kit. For
the first part, I currently use dosemu and masm + debug etc. For the
second one, we have a few dumb terminals into which we boot using an
MS-DOS boot floppy which has the programs to compile and send the
output to the microprocessor kit.
I was just wondering, is it possible to do these (mutually exclusive)
operations on a GNU/Linux machine without having to use dosemu or DOS?
It would save me a lot of time if this could be achieved.
Thank you.
Kumar
