	I would be interested in any comments about Harris Corp. HS/UX
	which is another real-time UNIX.  Harris has a specific bus
	they use for realtime data acquisition on their UNIX box and  
	I know that General Dynamics is very heavy into Harris equipment
	on the F-16 production line (probably the old H1000/800 line).
	I am most interested in the small Harris stations and the MCX line,
	but any comments on the hcx line would be welcome also. We have
	one of the first hcx-7s here, they are great machines but we have 
	done absolutely zero realtime stuff with it.  Also, how does this
	compare to HPs stuff (from what I have seen HP does all their realtime 
	control/acquisition using realtime independent controllers).  Any
	thought or comments would be appreciated.
