Hi,

>Bochs is one of the highest-fidelity PC emulators and is widely used in
both academia and industry.  If there's a way we can keep it going, please
don't let it die.

Bochs can't survive on just 2 contributors which also have families, work
and other projects to care.
We would try to do our best but it can't continue alone.
