Could you give us more information on Micro RTX.  I was under the 
impression that programs had to be specifically written to run
under Micro RTX.  Is this true?  From your post, it would seem
that I'm mistaken.  

In either case, what software is known to run under Micro RTX?
Where can I get Micro RTX?  How much memory should I have to run
Micro RTX properly?  Is it known whether Micro RTX will run on 
a STacy?  How about the STe?  Or even the TT?  If it runs on the 
TT, does it use the built in memory protection?

Any help in this would be appreciated.
