This isn't possible in a $$$ context![[bluegreedy]](/data/assets/smilies/bluegreedy.gif "[bluegreedy] [bluegreedy]")
. I was a hardware engineer before my machine and assembler coding. I built the Intel equiv. of a mb before they existed outside the US(1973). There are CPU simulators but trying to simulate an entire board isn't feasible. You could get a board and cpu for under $150. When you ask for a MB; you include all of the following:BIOS and RAM and all control & timing circuitry, Southbridge & Northbridge controllers & circuitry,AGP&PCI slot wiring interrupts , IDE channels, USB (1.1&2.0), serial, parallel, IEEE1394(firewire) ports, power monitoring and on/off control (ACPI),etc. etc.. Plus all the timing signals have to be down to the picosecond range. If feasible, the device would be so expensive as to negate the usefullnes of the sim. Buy a board, a start O'scoping & data gathering. You can always ask Intel for one!![[yinyang]](/data/assets/smilies/yinyang.gif "[yinyang] [yinyang]")
