Hi Igor,
thanks for the reply.
The idea working with Semaphore has definitly it's own charm. From my
last (high-level) check I only found serial primitives which return 0
bytes if nothing was recieved meanwhile - no Semaphore as far as I saw.
Regarding adding support for this - I try to stay away from the VM (due
to C - no pun intended!) as far as possible. So I'd rather pay somebody
who knows his was around in the VM to do it :-) Volunteers?
Best Regards,
Udo

Sorry, Udo, for quick response.
I think you can do that with Pharo without polling. You just use
semaphores (which directly signaled by OS+VM).
I am not sure about if everything in VM (usb/midi /etc) uses
non-blocking i/o out of the box,
but if you really really want to hake it and ready to pay for it (in
terms of own time (or somebody else's ;) ))
i do not see any impenetrable barriers there.
