Isn't there some sort of framework (RTEMS) available for GNAT/PC? I seem to remember that it included support for networking with some sort of 3Com network card. As someone on the lunatic fringe I would not be too put off if all that was needed for my platform was to re-implement a driver for a network card. From this you can safely determine that I know preciously little about RTEMS. Linux might be an alternative to wxworks if your demands for real time are not excessive. There is said to be a RT version of Linux, but its quality is unknown to me. OS/2 has some real time facilities which may be useful. There is an OS/2 version of GNAT available and I'm sure that Robert Dewar would be delighted if more customers signed up for that port. The main problem with OS/2 real time may be disk I/O. A book about OS/2 stated that the designed guaranteed response should be within 4 ms when the disk I/O system was working. It is possible to reduce the footprint on the disk of both OS/2 and Linux significantly if one so desires. It should be possible to get a working character based system for each onto a 3,5 inch floppy. Greetings,
