Yes.

iRMX 86 is an Intel OS for the 80x86 family processors.
Its command/filename syntax is similar to that used by Intel's
ISIS OS for their 8080 system, except the subdirectories have
been added (ISIS used a flat file system).

I think iRMX 86 also includes some support for "real time multi-tasking",
but don't know for sure.
