Hi, anyone knows a BIOS emulator? I’m looking for one to teach
without touching the real BIOS

Not really an emulator, but in VMware there’s a BIOS that could meet this
need; presumably other virtualization solutions like VirtualBox also
would.

I pretty sure that Bochs does, and Qemu might.
Since these are both x86 emulators they should emulate a BIOS as well, but you still might need a guest OS to get them to start.

I don’t know that a guest OS would be necessary, since the BIOS setup
would come first, but if it were, a very small Linux install would
suffice. :slight_smile:
