cnczone - ive seen that before somehow. the task manager of winxp has a process priority setting, with one of the choices being 'realtime'. never tried it for anything. but the realtime mode of operation in linux is still a general hardware timeshare approach, no? ..including stuff like keyboard and mouse. i remember the original macintosh computers could still do the mouse pointer on the screen as long as the ics on the motherboard were not dead. that's what i imagine realtime to be ideally.
