DK86PC VS pcopy

I'm building an IBM 5150 emulator. Most of it is therefore an 8086 (technically 8088 but no difference for this) emulator. I have it successfully booting the BIOS and running BASIC in ROM (Casette BASIC). I'd like to boot DOS. I could use help with the disk support chips (everything is low level emulation right now) and more CGA graphics modes. It's just a hobby project—I'm not looking to make it performant, just working.

It's written in poor C++ with SDL.

It's at the point where it gets through booting the BIOS and gets to the IBM Casette BASIC (I haven't made much progress on the floppy disk controller to boot DOS). But then all keys get recognized as apostrophes:

nopaste/pcopy, that you can selfhost. Just a single binary file.

Heyy I made a thing like that. https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy

And another one here:https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy (same, see server.go)

I host a version of it on https://nopaste.net

re 1: as fellow gopher has said, `io.CopyN` is your friend, though I have recently implemented a similar thing that may be interesting to you. I implemented a `Peak()` method that will read up to N bytes and return a reader that can be read as if it's the original reader, but you'll be able to get the `PeakedBytes` from it too: https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/blob/master/util/peak.go

Since we're listing alternatives, here's the one I made: https://nopaste.net -- It's open source and available on https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy

curl usage is available via: "curl nopaste.net".

I have an issue on github (https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/issues/20) to "modernize" the JS code a little, i.e. use "class"es, modules, strict mode, consts, exports, ...

If you want to see them implemented, see https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/blob/284b6502fa736951b4ace0dfc62152ff707639ae/server.go
