Hello,
I thought of running 8086tiny on hadrware, which doesn't meet minimal hardware specifications (embedded microcontroller - 1,5MB of memory is really rather much in this field). However I could add external RAM to it - but RAM this couldn't be mapped into normal memory space, but is accessable through user functions. Because of this, it would be very useful to have access to 8086 emulator main memory and IO ports through dedicated functions, like
This way I can redirect memory operations to hardware interface as I wish - I am aware that this is not the most effective way and it will slow down the emulator.
Source code for 8086tiny is, however, more clever than I am. I honestly admire and appreciate this masterpiece, but I don't feel like I'm competent to mess with the sources.
Is this redirection possible somehow? I feel like major changes and rewrite of some parts would be needed, but I wish to be wrong.

write_mem (unit32 address, uint8 data)for writing to memory anduint8 read_mem (unit32 address)for reading memory. The same would go for IO ports access.This way I can redirect memory operations to hardware interface as I wish - I am aware that this is not the most effective way and it will slow down the emulator.
