First: Take a realtime flavor of UNIX as a port base. You knead that hardware priority ya know! Second: Run the AmigaDos environment in a protected address space. Takes care of applications trashing the kernel! (But not AmigaDos) Also solves the problem of message passing by pointer. Broken AmigaDos environments turn into a core dumps. A special heaven for programs/OS that I can deal with. You can even have more than one Amiga! (But no realtime response can be shared) Shades of VMS! Third: Derive a devient mutated form of realtime/kernel/exec and mix. Viola! Achieve response unoticebly different than a real Amiga. Transparent! Easy huh! You can have your UNIX and eat it too! 8^) I can feel the flames. But if anybody would like to seriously discuss this, I would like to also! Where's my cake! -- Work: Computer Consoles Inc.
