86-box is a full pc emulator.

for example, i can select the very first motherboard i purchased in there (ASUS P5A) fit it with the same cpu (AMD K6-2 400MHz) throw in a Sound Blaster 16 and a Matrox video card and install OS/2 on it.

it's a lot like a pc hardware toybox. for that it's awesome!

it strives to be fairly realistic though.. including options to make the simulated hard drive SLOWER.. ;)

probably not for BBS stuff unless you want to really feel like you're running it on old hardware, speed and all.
