- If your application doesn't have any absolute response times Amigas
- can be pretty darned nice for R/T applications. There are a few OS
- features missing, but you have a multitude of easily-programmed
- options to implement most R/T applications. Expecially if you need
- to service many different events very fast. (I've built quite a few
- R/T systems using Amigas)
