I have seen several threads on real time NetBSD.  The ucr supplement with
assembly code for the O'Reilly Book Programming Linux Device Drivers is
pretty good.  With the advent of NASM, and other mature assemblers, I was
wondering about this approach for writing real time device drivers.  A real
time kernel is needed as well, of course.  The base RTAI Linux code
doesn't look too huge, though it may need a lot of modifications for use
with NetBSD.
