   Any code which is designed for pure 16-bit protected mode.

   16-bit windows platform doesn't have a native console. Console support are   
   provided for real mode programs. Same thing applies to OS/2.

   No. 16-bit code is run using interpreter. Although it includes support for   
   using Intel HAXM where 16-bit code is run using virtualization, it seems   
   that it's not fully working yet.
