As I said, they varied a lot. The simplest would be a handful of drivers. It is in the nature of an OS that it's machine- and implementation-specific. This has a distinct influence on portability. Since I am no longer in the field, I have no notion of whether or not there is a "Linux" that can be made useful in a real-time environment. If one takes the nameplate off a Chevy Cavalier and super-glues it to a Lamborghini (or vice-versa), what then is one actually driving?
