+
+This is a cross post to a **KVM playground** in rust that I created in the past
+and hosted on github [>> mini-kvm-rs <<][mini-kvm].
+
+The [README][mini-kvm-readme] in the root of the repository gives an overview
+over the project organization. Additionally, it shows instructions for how to
+run two examples provided in the project, a guest running in [16 bit real
+mode][mini-kvm-16bit] and a guest running in [64 bit long
+mode][mini-kvm-64bit].
+
+The rustdoc is [here][mini-kvm-doc].
+
+## Example: 16 bit real mode
+
+The following shows the 16 bit guest code example.
+
+```nasm
+{{ fetch_url(url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johannst/mini-kvm-rs/main/guest/guest16.S") }}
+```
+
+The following creates a VM and runs the 16 bit example guest image.
+
+```rust
+{{ fetch_url(url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johannst/mini-kvm-rs/main/examples/real_mode.rs") }}
+```
+
+## Example: 64 bit long mode
+
+The following shows the 64 bit guest code example.
+
+```nasm
+{{ fetch_url(url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johannst/mini-kvm-rs/main/guest/guest64.S") }}
+```
+
+The following creates a VM and runs the 64 bit example guest image.
+
+```rust
+{{ fetch_url(url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johannst/mini-kvm-rs/main/examples/long_mode.rs") }}
+```
