How much of it can really be taken from there?  At least in the case 
of VMS it is very picky about what hardware it runs on.  For example 
I have two XP1000's, both have U2W-SCSI cards in them right now.  One 
is DEC/Compaq branded, the other is the generic card, other than that 
they're identical.  The DEC/Compaq has different firmware so I can't 
use the generic card, VMS doesn't even see it.

I'm guessing the bulk, if not everything will be different from what 
is found in Bochs or qemu.  At least I believe they support fairly a 
fairly plain PC implementation.
