Bochs v1.3 for PC and Linux

posted in Emulator Release by slein on Dec 14th, 2001

The IA-32 (x86) PC Bochs has been updated to version 1.3. Here's what's new:
  • add support for MacOS X (Carbon API), BeOS, and Amiga/MorphOS
  • emulated NE2000 works in Linux and WinNT/2000
  • read raw CD in Win95/98, read ISO images on any platform
  • in WinNT/2000, reading from raw floppies is supported
  • debugger is supported on win32
  • 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
  • polite panics. If you write "panic: action=ask" in the bochsrc, bochs will ask you what to do when a panic occurs. Choices include: quit, continue, or turn off this type of message.
  • parallel port emulation
  • new and improved model of PIT (programmable interval timer)
  • improved control over simulation time
  • many small improvements in cpu and device emulation
  • simpler Win32/VC++ compile process, option to use VC++ workspaces
  • documentation is about 80% converted to docbook, with many sections written from scratch.
