Hard real time was pretty easy to do on the Mac because you could run code in interrupt handlers. For example, dragging the mouse (e.g. to pull down a menu) suspended all processing in the system so that it would be responsive. The floppy driver might have run at an even higher priority, causing the mouse to skip during I/O. |
