I think a two computer solution might be easier. If one can get early serial on the target machine, then a small romcc program could read commands from the serial port, execute them, and transmit back the results. (I think I even saw an email from someone that did this in pure assembler.) Then, a specially modified emulator could run the original bios on a second machine, forwarding memory reads/writes and io reads/writes through the serial port to the target machine.
