I may have one, but I would have to check.  If you have a Northstar Advantage,
it already emulates a terminal (codes are Beehive/Soroc type, I have
them somewhere -- give me a call).

In the early days of 8086, Northstar experimented with it by
creating 8088 boards for the Advantage (and I think for the
Horizon, but don't quote me on it).  The Advantage board
would run generic MS-DOS, but was not PC compatible.

I still own an Advantage, and have the Technical Reference
manual for it.  I never owned one of the 8/16 boards.

If you have a serious need, give me a call and I'll
try to help.
