A CPU that aims to be binary compatible with the 8086 and with as many optimisations as possible
### Progress
* [X] Executing code
* [X] Is Turing complete
* [ ] Can boot up MS-DOS / FreeDOS
* [ ] Is completely binary compatible
* [ ] Is pipelined
* [ ] Is Out of Order
* [ ] Is superscalar
* [ ] Has been successfully synthesized
### Simulating it
To simulate this project you need Icarus Verilog, bin86, GNU make, xxd and the posix coreutils.
After that you can run `make` on the top level directory and it should build everything and start the simulation
At the time of development the versions used are :
* Icarus Verilog version 11.0 (stable)
* bin86 version: 0.16.17
* GNU Make 4.3
* xxd 2022-01-14
* GNU coreutils 8.32
