[comp.sys.amiga] Real-time vs. Virtual Memory

Why not side-by-side?  Keep your real-time system, and
allocate some memory to a virtual memory system that
would run at lower priority.  It shouldn't be too hard
to put a gateway between the two so a program in the
protected environment could send text, graphics procedure
calls, etc. to a server in the real-time world.

Yeeeech!

VM and real time work together just fine.  If you're waiting for an important
event, simply tell the system not to page you out.

How do you think the operating system keeps from paging out the paging code? :-)
