 The current implementation of v86d can use either LRMI or
x86emu to run the BIOS code and supports both x86 and x86_64.
Is there a fundamental reason why you can't also run it on
non-x86 machines, or has this simply not been tested so far?
AFAIK it should be possible to get it to work on non-x86.  One would
have to implement the IO functions for x86emu and mmap the Video BIOS,
both of which should be relatively easy tasks.  I don't however have 
direct access to hardware other than x86(_64) and thus haven't had a
chance to write such code and test it.

Best regards,
Michal
