It's a very big task to get all these contending real-time tasks to work  
together in concert in a robust way.  I'm a little skeptical that it can be  
done with the current hardware.  Look how difficult it is for the music kit to  
play a song with other competing tasks on the main processor. The 1/2 :-) about  
the QuintProcessor board in EPS's post I can agree with here.
