And, at the risk of boring everyone to tears, I would like to remind the list that 
pcemu, available from my web site (URL below), can do a lot of this. It's a 
software-only 8086 PC emulator with built-in debugger. The debugger runs `in hardware' 
so it doesn't require any special support in the software being run, and has a very 
DEBUG-like interface (which may not be a good thing).

I have run ELKS on it. It seems to work reasonably well, though the bogomips rating is 
way off as you might expect.
