Thanks for the pointer.  This looks like an interesting project
and I'll keep an eye on it.  Unfortunately, it appears that it's
not useful for my task at the moment.  The web site says:

    The serial port (single 8259 UART emulation) is not really
    usable yet. The interface to the emulated CPU is mostly
    working, but it needs some work before it can talk to a raw
    serial port or to a pseudo terminal.

Since my application works by communicating with the target
hardware via a serial port, it looks like I can't use bochs at
this stage of its development.
