I'd love to work this but I haven't much idea where to start and how to do it.  
Can somebody point me in the right direction?  I'm a fairly good developer with 
years of C, but I'm new to this project and still trying to get the lay of the 
land.  My first gues is to start in kernel/emulation/emulation.c then add the 
instructions to the representive files in the same directory.



Can somebody point me towards the CPU documentation required?  On Intel's site 
someplace?



What are the various types of instructions and what is the basis of them being 
broken up like they are?

Well then.  I guess we need to support those if you want to run XP!


CC list is empty
