If you *are* the operating system, you'd have to do something to bump the hardware to make an interrupt happen and this may or may not be possible in all cases. This is why I say if Ada had something like a "signal" entity that is typically tied to an interrupt, but (since its an Ada thing) can be triggered by some Ada mechanism, then you've got the problem solved. You could probably "Roll Your Own" - but I'm not sure how to do that and still utilize Ada's normal mechanisms for interrupt processing.
