Wow...Fabrice, things are going far now...our dream is coming true! :)
Is anyone working on the software MMU?

I don't really know. Bochs VBE could be a good starting point, but 8bpp=20
is a bit low in order to use graphical operating systems. VMware is=20
commercial, and qemu could become an enemy for them, license problems=20
will likely be noticed and stopped. So Intel could be the best=20
choice...
