Why real time kernel is needed with board like MESA?

I have one of those collecting dust, it runs an old DOS system ripped off from old Esab systems.

If folk want to have a commercialised arm to LinuxCNC then it is simply a matter of forking it and getting like minded individuals, corporations or whatever on board and doing it. Then you can do what you want and leave us folk that are happy to work on a project not contaminated by $$$ behind.

I never meant to offend anyone. I just Linuxcnc to grow.

In fact, this is also widely used by the Chinese for me, but in the lowest price class controllers - Free DOS + FPGA

DOS (because of it's signle threaded nature) is real time too.

No offence taken. I was just pointing out that if folk don't like the way it is done here there are other options. I would hate to see $$$ involved with the LinuxCNC project, as in most places it will only cause problems. Another option is that if folk feel philanthropic they could get a group of like minded individuals together and hire their own programmer to achieve there goal and submit it to LinuxCNC for inclusion which has occurred in the past, or would they then feel because they put in the $$$ that they should keep it for themselves.
