I'm looking for a real-time UNIX Operating system that runs on SUN
sparcs.   I have to acquire data through SUN at 4 Meg/Sec and write to
disk for sustained periods.  I'm concerned that under the standard OS I
can not completely disable the scheduler, and other backround tasks from
stealing CPU time during this process.  Can I do this using 4.4BSD ?  If
yes, how would I go about obtaining a copy.
