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
