Can anyone suggest the name(s) of commercial vendors
that provide [some measure of] real-time capability
for MSDOS-based systems?

It depends what you want to do.  I'm looking at just taking a plain vanilla
pc and using it and a program to turn some switches on and off depending
upon zip codes.

Do you want to do something exotic like analog to digital?

I'll try and get some names for vendors of boards that will do 
a large variety of stuff and put it in here.

Intel Corp has a new product called iRMX for Windows (also called
DOS RMX). It runs DOS under control of the real-time o/s RMX III, a
32-bit protected mode O/S.  DOS can use the facilities of RMX and
RMX can use the facilities of DOS.

If you are looking to run a real-time operating system on hardware capable
of running MS-DOS, call (800)475-9000 and ask for a free copy of the OS-9000
Catalog from Microware, which details our development tools for 32-bit 680x0
and 80x86-based systems.

If you are looking to add real-time to an actual MS-DOS application, good luck.

You may find what you are looking for in OS-9000 from Microware.

OS-9000 is a complete multi-tasking real-time operating system for the
80386 and can run directly on most 386-based PC/AT machines (not 286). 
You can partition the hard disk between DOS and OS-9000 and selectively
boot either.  In addition, using the OS-9000 PCF file manager, you can
access the DOS partition under OS-9000. A C compiler, Assembler, Linker
and C-Source Debugger are included as standard. In addition, its modular
nature allows custom drivers and other modules to be included easily,
and even dynamically loaded at run-time.

Full details are available from our Western Regional Office on
(408)980-0201 or the Corporate HQ on (515)224-1929.

Tony.
