I'm wondering if it's possible to make a system call from a VBL task?

Can anyone help me out on this one?

What I'm thinking of is trying out a little experiment (Yes, and probably
crashing the machine), to hook a time slicer into the vbl list, and (sort of)
providing preemptive multitasking....

Any Ideas?

(Yes, and for those special people out there, flames are welcome...;)
