I think Dirk has it correct. Even if it would work - VM will be pulling interrupts in background and the whole reason of using a realtime kernel is to prevent interrupts. If the machine was fast enough and the demand was low enough, it is possible you could get away with it, but for safety and sanity it pays to keep the computer controlling movements as simple and unencumbered as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Transtronics, Inc.
