When and why was support for the 286 removed?

    I've been looking for a way to emulate LOADALL, and I think it has been removed from Bochs for some reason. If someone could give me a pointer to the release or SVN revision with the best support for the 286 (even if not complete), it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a BIOS that can be substituted for Bochs/SeaBIOS, so that isn't a problem.

    Thanks,
    Dawn

    286 support doesn't mean only LOADALL instruction (which probably was not implemented correctly anyway). We, as Bochs team, do not want to invest in supporting 286 emulation and therefore we removed any traces of #if BX_CPU_LEVEL < 3 from the code several years ago.
