- new text mode configuration menus, as an alternative to editing .bochsrc
- runtime configuration menu can change floppy disk images, turn debug logging on/off during simulation

- new and improved model of PIT (programmable interval timer)
- improved control over simulation time
- many small improvements in cpu and device emulation
