I am using the protected mode version of QNX on my AT and an IBM Industrial
PeeCee.  NO problems whatsoever.  I am waiting for some cable to be strung
to complete my little development network, but I have seen several network
implementations, some quite large, and am thoroughly impressed.  All the
resources on the network are (optionally) accessible to everyone on the net,
including CPU's.  I can, for example, off-load a compile on the 10 MHz PC,
instead of using my 6 Megger, and it's totally transparent.

What I wanted to add, is that there are several firms now offering software
to run under QNX.  Databases, (including entity-relational), spreadsheets,
graphics packages, etc.  There is also lots of free stuff available from
Quantam's bulletin board for registered users.
