I was looking for RT BSD too, but it doesn't seem to exist. Most of the RT Linux
stuff I've seen is still very early in the devel phase, so I ended up with QNX
(it was already installed on the system), but I hear Microware OS-9 is nice too. 

There's got to be a way to do RT with BSD. Maybe if we get enough people
together we can get a project going?
