That wasn't completely serious ;) -- however thanks for the hint. I
wonder actually if any piece of software would let the code run in a
"pass-through" mode and record what I/O accesses went past. I reckon
DOSEMU used to support that (and running the VGA BIOS) -- but that piece
did indeed require vm86. Then the sequence recorded could be replayed
natively.
Thanks for the food for thought! :)
