Dave Beckmeyer's just released his Micro-RTX kernel as shareware. Of course, to take advantage of it, you need some software that'll do the right system calls. You can buy his MT C-shell, which would probably be a good idea anyway, if you like a Unix-style environment. Or you can hack up your own shell to use his code... > What can you tell me about 16Mhz 68k retrofits for the ST? >What is the best board in your opinion and what will it cost? What >are the pros and cons of buying and installing a 16Mhz board? Jim Allen's Turbo-16 board (Fast Technologies) is probably the only one worth looking at. $300, but 100% speed increase. Btw, I'm not affiliated with either of these guys. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan
