- Straight DOS is a very poor choice for any type of hard real-time use (for
- a number of reasons). You might like to try to scrounge back issues to the
- Embedded Systems Programming magazine published by Miller-Freemen (I have
- no relation to them other than as a subscriber).
-
- If you want DOS compatiblity in a real-time capable implementation then you
- might want to take a look at General Software's products Embedded DOS and
- Embedded BIOS (again, no relation at all, I've just heard good things about
- them from different people).
-
- Hope this helps,
- John
