This is not for commodity tasks, though. Think reimplementing an old x86 system on FPGA and using it to keep old software (games, utilities, cool demos) properly functioning, even for things that might not work properly with simple software emulation. With Intel now planning to abandon support for the BIOS and for 16-bit and 32-bit system boot in new x86 architectures, an independent reimplementation is something we should have.
