I did a similar thing with a 6502 and the Propeller microcontroller. I always meant to make an 8086 or 8088 version, but moved on to other things before ever doing so.
I'm pretty sure the code I wrote for it ended up on the Propeller object exchange, but that site also is gone... It probably lives on in the migration to a github repo, but it isn't so easy to search by author AFAICT.
My picture (along with the other design contest winners and honorable mentions) was on the back of the May 2009 Nuts and Volts magazine, but I just checked my copy and there's no article inside, just the blurb on the back cover.
Do you happen to still have this information somewhere?
