[comp.os.research] real-time and Apollos

darrell@sdcsvax.UUCP (09/01/87)

    We were hoping to use Apollos for real-time data acquisition and control
for some of our experimental work the reason being we already have 4 for our
analytical work and as a result would like to stay with the same product.

    From what what I understand of real-time o/s's neither Aegis nor
Domain/IX is at all appropriate for such a task (no pun intended) what I was
hoping though is that someone out there is using Apollos for real-time work
and would be willing to post any suggestions,ideas,experiences to the net as
I'm quite sure others are contemplating doing the same thing seeing that
dn3000's and 4000's are so inexpensive.

    A last question: does anyone know of any real-time executives (i.e.
VxWorks, pSOS whatever) that have been ported to  Apollo?

    Thanks in advance.
