| | | Aren't robots real time systems? Isn't the RCX meant to be a component in such real time systems? Java (as implemented by current virtual machines) is NOT suitable as a platform for building real time systems. The implementation of garbage (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) I doubt anyone is considering using the RCX with any OS/language in a hard real-time system. The original firmware nor any of the replacements make the proper guarantees required for such a system (ie, a deadline-based scheduler), and I have (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Has anyone thought of porting OS9 to the RCX. OS9 is a multi-processing, multi-tasking, pre-empted OS that can be put into ROM. It is also a 8 bit OS. Uses Pascal, Basic, Assembly, & C for writing code. Level 1 OS9 fits perfectly into 32K of memory (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | (...) You are provoking me:-) At Enea we are thinking of porting OSE Basic to the RCX. OSE is a multi- processing, multi-tasking, pre-empted OS that can be put into ROM. OSE Basic is a version suitable for 8 or 16 bit microcontrollers with limited (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | I gather then, you know what OS9 is. I have been using OS9 Level I & II, OS9-68K and OS9-X86 for over 10 years. Sound like OSE is very much like OS9. OS9 was developed by Microware for embedded comtrolers like the H8. JAD (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) I don't think anyone is suggesting that Java is appropriate for a hard-realtime system. Personally, I would expect nothing less than an RTOS with a deadline-based scheduler and a low-level language. However, I think the RCX does not have any (...)
