Bochs (an IBM 80x86 emulator) is progressing along very quickly, with 
more features added in every day.  The creator of Bochs, Kevin Lawton, 
is now adding dynamic translation into the Bochs cpu core, which should 
give it over a 10x performance improvement over the current incarnation.  

Bochs/2 for OS/2 Warp, ported by Craig Ballantyne, is also getting 
additional features rapidly added to it.  I have been speaking 
with Craig, and he has so far added direct printer access, floppy 
access, with more direct hardware access on the way, such as giving 
Bochs direct access to the video card.  These improvements along with 
the dynamic translation, should give OS/2 users the ability to run 
Windows 95/98 fast enough for some tasks. Craig's web site is located 
at www.guisoft-corp.com.  Bochs is available for many different 
platforms such as Windows, OS/2, Linux, BeOS, Macintosh 68k/PPC, 
and several more ports that have been written since the incarnation 
of Bochs.  The Bochs homepage is located at www.bochs.com.
