Hi!  I work for Codex Corporation (a division of Motorola).  We are 
using the VRTX real-time system from Hunter & Ready.  They are here
in Massachusetts, phone (617)465-9944.

VRTX is a very low-level exec that maintains mailboxes and queues,
and does scheduling of tasks, but not too much else.  It comes in
a single ROM, ready to run, etc.  For what it does, it seems to work
quite well.  Several Motorola divisions have independently settled
on it as the basis for embedded real-time systems.
