The query about the RS/6000 as a real-time platform made me wonder ....

My division creates embedded design tools, but I heard about another HP
division supporting the real-time market with the HP9000 series 800 (PA-RISC
hardware architecture) using HP-UX, HP's version of UNIX(tm), with real-time
extensions.  This is the same group who created the HP1000 and RTE.  I don't
know the details and can't make claims as to what HP means by "real-time" (but
I'll help track down answers if anyone asks).

Also, in case anyone wonders, my division doesn't produce emulators for either
the HP1000 or PA-RISC.

I'm curious -- have any comp.realtime readers used an HP computer as a target
for embedded applications?  How does the HP9000 series 300 (Motorola 68030/40
CPU) do?
