[This article arrived with a distribution of "ba", which I don't believe. Anyway, I suspect the topic is of interest generally. -mod] I am looking for information on Real-time implementations of UNIX. Pointers to implementations, implementors, availability, and technical literature welcome. If sufficient number of responses of substance are recieved, I'll summarize to the net. Thanx in Advance, govind

Hi, A couple years ago I was using Masscomp computers (1-800-451-1824). We were using them because they were/are fast and cheap, rather than for their real-time properties, but they do support RT stuff. The market niche they wre aiming at is lab automation, enginneering, etc. (The old DEC marketplace, that DEC seemed to abandon about 5 years back to chase the office market.) Anyhow, I found Masscomp pretty good to deal with, the hardware was mostly solid, and they were pretty good about fixing software bugs, and expanding the software capabilities. At the time I was dealing with them their RT/Unix was mostly Sys III, with a bunch of BSD utilities, working towards Sys V compliance. Anyhow, in a nutshell, I can recommend their hardware and software. We never had any major problems with either. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Opinions are my own. I can't imagine why anyone else would want them.

Contact your local HP sales office and ask about real-time processing on the HP9000/300 and 800 series. I will not go into them here for fear of being seen as biased, since HP does give me employ. -- -Peter Marvit HP Labs

Have you heard about UNIX RTR (Real Time Reliable) that runs on the AT&T 3B20D? I don't have any references handy, but you can call 1 (800) 247-7000 for AT&T computer info, and 1 (800) 828-8649 for UNIX info. -- Dave Newkirk, ihnp4!ihlpm!dcn
