INFORMATION WANTED...

I've just started a PhD reaseach into developing a real-time operating system
for a Programmable Communications Controller (PCC).

The PCC is based on a intel 386 processor, and is inserted into a
PC-AT expansion port.

Primarily, the PCC is used to control the I/O for around 40 PC-terminals,

The host PC will run Concurrent Dos (Digital Research) or any of a number of    Unix implementations.

Depending on feedback from this posting and other investigations I may include 
some form of Object Oriented programming into the design.

If you have any comments, suggestions, advice on any of the following subjects
(or anything you think may be of help to me) please e-mail me. Any useful info  that I receive which may be of interest to this newsgroup's readers will be 
passed on.

Subjects;

Real-time systems (R-T operting systems in particular)
Memory management on the 386
Public Domain debuggers/hardware monitors for the 386
distributed operating systems
Real-Time scheduling algorithms
Use of Object Oriented programming
etc


Thanx in advance..
