- I doubt it. It's a flakey microkernel with separate kernel-level tasks for
- the file system, memory management, and so on. Quite unlike any traditional
- UNIX kernel. The V6, V7, System III, BSD, and System V kernels all share the
- same basic model where the kernel carries all these tasks through in the
- execution context of the calling process. It's an amazingly responsive design,
- even if it does make it damned hard to do realtime.
