Ken --

>>> as a CD-I games programmer I feel that the CD-I hardware is handicapped by
the fact that OS-9 signals can't nest like real interrupts <<<

I have to defer to your expertise here.  It really does depend on the type of
application you're programing; after all, OS-9 was designed for industrial
systems, not games, so there are things the designers foresaw no need for.  I
agree about the design of CD-RTOS; some of the functions take about a week to
execute.
