Title: Need Info On RT/MT Embedded OS Dear netlanders; I am searching for a replacement for the Real-Time Multi-Tasking canned Operating System we currently use in most of our products. The OS we are using comes to us in a PROM as a position independent module, that we up-load and then link into our software. We (the company I work for and myself) would like to find an OS that is fast, easily modifiable and NO ROYALTIES. This implies that the source for the OS is available for sale. The products we manufacture contain either a 8086, 80186, 68010 or 68020 CPU. The OS would need to be portable; as little assembly code as possible. This implies that it should be written in a high level language, preferably "C". We develop all of our 680x0 code on Sun's. The Intel code is done on PC's with the Microsoft "C" compiler. Also, are there any magazines or news rags that contain information about embedded OS's and things of that nature? Addresses and/or phone numbers would be helpfull. Thanks in advance. John T.
