Hi,
  A couple years ago I was using Masscomp computers (1-800-451-1824).
We were using them because they were/are fast and cheap, rather than 
for their real-time properties, but they do support RT stuff.  The
market niche they wre aiming at is lab automation, enginneering, etc.
(The old DEC marketplace, that DEC seemed to abandon about 5 years
back to chase the office market.)
  Anyhow, I found Masscomp pretty good to deal with, the hardware was
mostly solid, and they were pretty good about fixing software bugs,
and expanding the software capabilities.
  At the time I was dealing with them their RT/Unix was mostly Sys III,
with a bunch of BSD utilities, working towards Sys V compliance.

  Anyhow, in a nutshell, I can recommend their hardware and software.
We never had any major problems with either.
