The following posting came on 21.9.96 through the news. Things are happening...

Real-Time Linux: Release 2.0.0.1

RT-Linux is a Linux kernel with hard real-time tasks. 
Current versions run on the x86 architectures only. 
Real-time tasks are run as loadable modules and may
be  periodic or interrupt driven. On a 120MHz Pentium,
we have reliably run  tasks with periods of 150 micro-seconds.
This is a development release and undoubtedly there are bugs
to be found and aspects of the design that should be changed.
We are actively looking for interesting test applications. 
If you have a candidate application and want some assistance,
email to rtlinux@luz.nmt.edu.
If you develop an application, please tell us about it.
The current realtime patch's version 0.4 is based upon kernel 2.0.27.
