CMU will send you pretty full docs if you ask them. I don't recall the
address, try postmaster@cmu.edu. One point, though, is that Mach is not
yet real-time. Virtual memory and realtime have never been particularly
comfortable in bed together... and VM is basic to the Mach design.

One intriguing possibility is running virtual Amigas under Mach. I suspect
that you could write a custom pager for it that would give pretty close to
real-time response. You'd have to make AmigaOS do a suspend operation instead
of halting (I *assume* AmigaOS halts when there is no work to do).
