[lug] Is there a way move the active window under my cursor?

[Carl Wagner]

Jeff,

360K or 1.2M?  I think I may have 1 of each  ;-)    I don't think I have 
any old RLL drives laying around anymore though.

PC/IX ran on an 8088?  I wonder if you could run that in a VM?  It would 
need to be a very old version of a VM to support a pre-IDE hard drive 
interface.

I see that SIMH, the Altair 8800 simulator, includes 8086 but it is 
probably not PC/XT compatible.

Ooo, check this out, a 8086 emulator for th Raspberry Pi.  In 4043 bytes 
of C!
