X
X1. This looks like PC, but where is DOS? How to get pcemu really running
X
XPcemu is an emulator that emulates an 8086 CPU as well as a bunch of
XPC BIOS services, so it basically provides the functionality like an
Xold PC/XT.  Anyway, as with the XT too, the emulator requires something
Xlike an operating system to run with.  Since we cannot ship MS-DOS or
Xone of its variants along with this distribution (for legal reasons),
Xyou're now actually looking at a (sort of) "standalone operating system",
Xjust to get pcemu booted and running.  All this system does is showing
Xyou this introduction.
X
XYou will have to replace this mini-system by a physical image of a
XDOS boot floppy.  The "system" currently running is booted from the
Xfile
X
X	/usr/local/lib/pcemu/DriveA.
X
XIt pretends to be the image of a 720 KB diskette, which has been
Xchosen as the default bootfile size.
X
XIn order to obtain the image of a bootable DOS floppy, do the following:
X
X	Prepare a 720 KB floppy with a DOS system as you'd like
X	to run it later.  Include all the good stuff you don't want
X	to miss there.  Don't forget to put a simple text editor
X	there, so you can modify your configuration files later.
X
X	Put a copy of the file
X
X		/usr/local/lib/pcemu/C/emufs.sys
X
X	onto this diskette, and include a line like
X
X		device = a:\emufs.sys /usr/local/lib/pcemu/C
X
X	into the config.sys file on this diskette.  This will
X	provide you with an interface to the BSD file system from
X	within your DOS session.  (It actually pretends to be a
X	network drive.)  According to David Hedley, you are also
X	advised to include the line
X
X		stacks = 9, 512
X
X	there to avoid stack overflow problems with the emulator.
X
X	If you want to retain a copy of the standalone "system" you
X	are currently looking at, move it away:
X
X		# cd /usr/local/lib/pcemu; mv DriveA StandaloneA
X
X	Now, make a copy of your disk by either:
X
X	- under BSD, perform a
X
X		# cp /dev/fd0.720 /usr/local/lib/pcemu/DriveA
X
X	  (the number after the fd may vary for drives other than
X	  the primary one), or
X
X	- under DOS, copy the file
X
X		/usr/local/lib/pcemu/C/dumpdisk.exe
X
X	  to your DOS system and execute it.  This will dump the
X	  physical copy of either drive A or B to the file drivea
X	  in your current (DOS) working directory.  You can then move
X	  this file to
X
X		/usr/local/lib/pcemu/DriveA
X
X	  in your BSD system.
X
XSince pcemu needs to display the standard VGA font, you further need
Xto tell your X server about the location of the font file.  It has
Xbeen put under
X
X	/usr/local/lib/pcemu/font/
X
Xalong with the necessary information for the X server.  All you need
Xto do is to tell your X server about it.  This can either be done
Xas a server default by including the directory into the FontPath
Xsection of your XF86Config file (this is for XFree86, refer to
Xthe documentation if you're using another X server).  Alternatively,
Xyou can run the command
X
X	$ xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/pcemu/font
X
Xwhen X11 is running to instruct your X server to append this directory
Xto the font path.  Should you wish to run pcemu across the network,
Xremember that the fonts must be physically available at the server
Xside, or you need to provide an X11 font server (xfs).  Refer to
Xthe X11 documentation on how to setup this.
X
X
XThat's all, now you should be able to run pcemu.  Add required
Xdevice = a:\emufs.sys /... lines to your config.sys as you
Xneed them.  It's not wise to make the whole BSD hierarchy available
Xsince DOS does not provide multiuser protection.
X
XShould you wish to override some of the emulator defaults like
Xsize and location of the bootfile, you can do this by settig up a
X$HOME/.pcemurc file.  Refer to sections 2. and 3. below.
X
X
X
X2. Information about this FreeBSD port
X
X
XThis `port' of pcemu to FreeBSD has been prepared by J�rg Wunsch.
XIt is an only slightly modified version of David's code, a few
Xproblems have been fixed for the BSD compilation environment, and
Xthe location of the default boot file has been moved in order to
Xget you started with just what you are reading now.
X
XThe PostScript document David is mentioning under 3. below has
Xbeen compressed and stored under
X
X	/usr/local/lib/pcemu/doc/report.ps.gz.
X
XIt is huge however, so if you don't care much for it you might wish
Xto remove it later.
X
XSince i'm living in Germany with a German keyboard, i found the
Xoriginal X11 KeySym to PC scancode translation unacceptable.  Several
Xscancodes have been unreachable for me.  Hence i decided to add another
Xsection to the .pcemurc file allowing to instruct pcemu of specific
Xkeyboard layout semantics.  They consist of the keyword keymap,
Xfollowed by the desired PC scancode, an equal sign, and the character
Xthat is generated for this key under X11 without any shift keys.  (Note
Xthat no space is allowed on either side of the equal sign.)  This way
Xi won't get a German key mapping under DOS, but at least a valid keyboard
Xlayout where all the scan codes can actually be generated at all.
X
XThe appropriate section of my .pcemurc file looks like:
X
Xkeymap 12=�
Xkeymap 13='
Xkeymap 21=z
Xkeymap 26=]
Xkeymap 27=+
Xkeymap 39=\
Xkeymap 40=[
Xkeymap 41=^
Xkeymap 43=#
Xkeymap 44=y
Xkeymap 53=-
Xkeymap 86=<
X
X
XOnce :-) i will have filed all my modifications back to David, and
Xperhaps they will be included into the regular distribution as well.
X
XShould you wish to contact me regarding this FreeBSD port, you can
Xreach me as joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de.

X
X
X		       PC Emulator for Unix and X Windows
X
XAs the title suggests, this is a Unix/X windows program which is
Xdesigned to emulate a standard 8086 based PC.
X
XIn its current form it runs most text based programs. The programs I have
Xtried and found to work are as follows:
X
XMSDOS 5.0			  MSDOS 6.2
XWordPerfect 5.1			  Borland C++ 2.0
XTurbo Debugger 2.51		  Turbo Assembler 2.51
XBBCBasic 4.61			  MSDOS QBasic
XMSDOS GWBASIC			  Virtually all program that came with MSDOS 5
XHitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy  PC Magazine's ANSI.COM
XSemWare's QEdit 2.1		  Norton Utils 4.50 Advanced Edition
XNorton Utils 6.0		  Xtree Professional 1.1
XPowerMeter Utils		  Autoroute (ancient version)
XMinitab 8.0			  Microsoft Diagnostics
X
XThis is all the programs I could lay my hands on which were text based
Xand could run on an 8086
X
XThe emulator runs at about 8-10MHz 80286 speed on a Sun SparcStation
X10/40 (without the -mviking flag) and at about 6MHz 8088 speed on a
X33MHz 80486 box running Linux.
X
XI have included a Postscript representation of my project report. It's
Xa bit out of date now, but it's the closest thing I've got to
Xdocumentation!	I'll do some kind of latex thing for the next
Xrelease....
X
XThe program rather hogs the cpu but unmapping the window (iconifying
Xit) will put it to sleep.
X
XThe most recent version of this program will always be in ftp.cs.bris.ac.uk
Xcurrently in the directory /users/hedley
X
XINSTALLING THE EMULATOR
X
XEdit the Makefile to change the OPTIONS, CFLAGS and XROOT to be
Xappropriate for your system (I am assuming you are using GNU GCC,
Xalthough any ANSI C compiler should work just as well). Ensure you are
Xusing the best (speed) optimisations possible (e.g. -O2 -fomit-frame-poiner)
X
XEdit the file mytypes.h and ensure that the types for INT8, UINT8,
XINT16, UINT16 etc are correct. Hopefully nothing need be changed in
Xthis file, but you never can tell... I have assumed that 'char's are 8
Xbit bytes, 'short's are 16 bit words and 'long's are 32 bit words. If
Xyour compiler treats these differently to the above then you will have
Xto edit this header file.
X
XType 'make' and go away and have a cup of tea! Compiling 'cpu.c' takes
Xa while (and quite a bit of memory!).
X
XGet a floppy disk of the same size/type as you specified in the Makefile
X(i.e. if you chose -DBOOT720, then you'll need a 3.5" 720k disk). Install
XMSDOS on it. Copy the files 'config.sys', 'emufs.sys' and 'lredir.exe' from
Xthe 'programs' directory onto this floppy disk. Shove it in your Unix box
Xand type cp /dev/fd0 DriveA This should create a 720k (or whatever) file
Xwhich the emulator can boot from.  If you do not have access to a Unix box
Xwith a floppy disk on it, then you can use the supplied 'dumpdisk' program
Xto create a disk image. All you need is access to a PC. Simply put in a
Xbootable MSDOS disk into the drive and type dumpdisk A (or dumpdisk B if in
Xdrive B). The program will copy the entire disk to a file called
X'drivea'. You must then transfer it to your Unix box...
X
XYou then need to convert the vga font (vga.bdf) into a font format
Xyour X server can understand (either SNF or PCF) using either
X'bdftosnf' or 'bdftopcf' and install the resulting font file somewhere
Xwhere your X server can find it. Then type 'mkfontdir' to rebuild the
Xfonts.dir file and then type 'xset fp rehash' to tell your X server
Xabout the new font. If you type 'xlsfonts' you should see 'vga' as one
Xof the fonts listed. If not, then something has gone wrong. I may or
Xmay not be able to help - it depends on your local setup. The emulator
Xwill run without the font as it uses the standard 8x16 X11 font -
Xalthough most programs which use the extended character set will look
Xpretty terrible. A warning will be displayed if the correct VGA font
Xcannot be found. If you are using openwindows, you will have to type
X'convertfont' and then 'bldfamily'
X
XYou should now be in a position to run the emulator
X
XBy default, the emulator requires the disk image called 'DriveA' to be in
Xthe current directory or else it will complain. If you don't like this,
Xthen you can change the file the emulator boots from by altering your
X.pcemurc file (see below) or by changing the default at compile time (by
Xmodifying the Makefile)
X
XOnce run, the emulator should come up with the usual MSDOS banner and
Xrequest the current date and time (which should already be
Xcorrect). You can now run PC programs, mount Unix directories as
Xdrives etc. You will already have one drive redirection - drive C: is
Xthe Unix root directory. To mount further directories as drives, you
Xmust use the program 'lredir'. Consult the file 'lredir.readme' for
Xinstructions...
X
X			The .pcemurc file
X
XAt present this file allows a few things to be changed at run time. If this
Xfile is found (either in the current directory or in your home directory),
Xthen it is read and parsed and the values overwriting the equivalent
Xcompile time options. Currently the only options supported at present are:
X
Xbootfile diskfile
X
Xwhere diskfile is the disk image you want to boot from (no quotes or
Xanything are needed and the filename must not contain white spaces).
X
Xboottype type
X
Xwhere type is either 360, 720, 144 or 12. This tells the emulator the type
Xof disk the disk image file represents (360k, 720k, 1.44MB, 1.2MB
Xrespectively).
X
Xupdatespeed n
X
Xwhere n is an integer > 0
XThis is the rate at which the screen memory gets checked for changes (and
Xhence the update speed at which the screen gets updated for non-BIOS
Xwrites). n is measured in internal interrupt ticks of which there are ~72.8
Xper second (depends on the resolution of the system timer).
X
Xcursorspeed n
X
Xwhere n is an integer
XThis specifies how fast the cursor should flash. Flashing the cursor can
Xtake a fair amount of bandwidth and so on slow/heavily loaded networks it
Xmay be best to slow down the cursor flashing. Setting n to 0 or less will
Xdisable cursor flashing - the cursor will be permanently on.
X
XAn example .pcemurc file can be found in this directory.
X
XIf you have problems compiling or running the emulator, then please contact
Xme giving details of what went wrong (along with your computer type
Xetc).
X
XArchitectures tested:
X
XComputer	OS		Comments
X-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
XPC 486/33	Linux 0.99.14w	Runs quite well. A bit pointless though :)
XSun 3/60	SunOS 4.1.x	Takes an age to compile and not really worth
X				the effort...
XSparcStation 10 SunOS 4.1.3	Runs well. Takes > 20MB RAM to compile though
XHP 755/99	HPUX		Runs OK (>25MB RAM to compile...)
XSun 4		Solaris 2.3	Runs OK
XRS6000		???		Had a few problems getting it to compile.
X				Getting there slowly though.
XSGI Indigo	IRIX 4.?.?	Doesn't work if compiled with optimisation
X				using the standard compiler. Haven't tried
X				it using gcc yet...
X
XAs you can see this list is quite small. The main limiting factor is the range 
Xof machines I have access to. If anyone else can get it running on other
Xarchitectures then please contact me!
X
XWarning: This program is not secure! Do not make is suid or sgid anything
Xunless you wish to compromise the security of your system!
X
XEMULATOR LIMITATIONS etc
X
XSome parts of the PC architecture are emulated better than others. The
XBIOS has been partly implemented - enough to get MSDOS to boot and to
Xallow most programs to run. Anyhow, most decent programs bypass the
XBIOS for screen access. BIOS Disk calls for drive A have been mostly
Xemulated, although formatting doesn't work.
X
XSome of the hardware has been emulated but not much. Timer interrupts
Xare generated by the system but there is now way (at present) to
Xreprogram the timer. The Programmable Interrupt Controller has been
Xemulated in part to respond to the End Of Interrupt command and reads
Xfrom and writes to the mask register should work OK.
X
XNone of the VGA hardware has been emulated at present (apart from
Xscreen updating) although this will change in the near future. Mode
Xchanges must therefore be done through the BIOS.
X
XThe keyboard has been mostly emulated. The program converts X11
Xkeysyms to raw PC scan codes and then generates an interrupt 9 as per
Xusual. There is a BIOS routine which takes these scan codes and
Xgenerates the correct BIOS ASCII/scan code pair. The keysyms used can
Xbe found in the module 'xstuff.c'. In the future these keysyms will be
Xread in from a file at run time.
X
XTHANKS
X
XThanks go to the following:
X
XAndy Norman at HPLabs, Bristol (ange@hpl.hewlett-packard.co.uk) for the HP
Xport.
XDieter Becker (becker@med-in.uni-sb.de) for help with the Solaris port
XKlaas Esselink (esselin1@ksla.nl) for help with the RS6000 port
X
XPlease report bugs/comments etc to me (hedley@cs.bris.ac.uk) and I'll
Xdo my best to sort them out (no guarantees though). After June 25th I
Xwill be leaving University and will not be able to check email very
Xfrequently - please be patient if you want a response - I will reply
Xeventually.
X
XHave fun...
