The Mightyframe by Convergent Technologies offers several features
that make many real time applications doable.
The most important features are:

	Preemptive scheduling
	A correctly implemented plock() call

Other interesting V.2.0.2 extensions include
	
	A bitmapped file system
	A method of bypassing the buffer pool for "regular" file i/o

While these features alone do not make a "real time OS", they actually
seem to satisfy many "real time needs."
