Say for example a 16mhz 386 with decent RAM, maybe a cache? I'm just interested in ballpark figures, like about how many hundreds of microseconds. By task response, I mean longest possible time from an interrupt to the time the (highest-priority) task can respond to the interrupt. I realize that iRMX has "interrupt tasks"; aren't these sort of limited? Maybe not. -- Mike McNally of Lynx Real-Time Systems uucp: lynx!m5 (maybe pyramid!voder!lynx!m5 if lynx is unknown)
