It includes:
- a.out Parser to parse legacy MINIX 1.x executables.
- 8086 disassembler to parse the 16-bit instructions into an IR and prints them in a `objdump(1)`-style fashion.
- 8086 interpreter which interprets the instructions with MINIX 1.x conventions in mind.
- 8086 interpreter which interprets the instructions with MINIX 1.x conventions (e.g. interrupts, memory layout, ...) in mind.
## Usage

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.
Currently, everything is in the binary, but I want to move some parts to a lib, which would make it much easier to ignore the Minix 1.x specifics and would allow for more generic usage of this 8086 (e.g. implenting an own simple BIOS or OS).
E.g. currently the interrupt handler is hardcoded to support only Minix 1.x interrupts.
But first I want to implement all features correctly and add tests for all of them, before I want to move to that.
