[rtl] 2 questions and 2 suggestions

List of questions and suggestions

Relatively new to RTL people, I am developing an embedded control with CAN,
distant access, and so on ... 

I have 2 questions and 2 suggestions :
1/ is there a link between jitter and NMI IRQ ?
2/ is real time disk access possible ? (from SOUND example)
3/ mails together in a downloadable file
4/ RTL in general WEB sites

1/ RTL steal the masquable interruptions but what about he NMI IRQ ? 
I don't know if there is a link with the jitter ? Does RTL stop
interruptions when the data is accessed on to hard disk?

2/ I have tested the sound example. It works fine on my Pentium
but it drops on my 386 because I've loaded it. So I think the user 
"cat file.au > fifo" hasn't enough time to fill the fifo (sometimes).
I have fixed it by largely increasing the fifo. Can wa have a better
solution? Rt access hard drive?

3/ *this* support is very useful for brief questions. I suggest
an improvement could be made : put all the mails together in a 
downloadable file on the RTL site (each month). For beginners 
and the others ;) it will be a very usefull learning support.

4/ my opinion is we are in the very beginning of the rt times. 
In the future, all OS will include rt functions. Perhaps I am
wrong but I don't see a lot of rtl links in general linux sites.
A bad thing ?
