## Status
|
||||
|
||||
This project is under active development and primarily used by me to explore some Intel disassembly and learn some more Rust.
|
||||
Expect bugs and some missing features.
|
||||
I mainly test with 'official' binaries from the MINIX source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation of the project itself can be accessed by using `cargo doc`.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cargo doc
|
||||
$ firefox target/doc/minix_8086_rs/index.html
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For the implementation of all instructions I used the Intel "8086 16-BIT HMOS MICROPROCESSOR" Spec, as well as [this](http://www.mlsite.net/8086/8086_table.txt) overview of all Opcode variants used in conjunction with [this](http://www.mlsite.net/8086/) decoding matrix.
