Neither one, of course, is much good as a timesharing system.  So comparing
them with Unix is silly.  Using one of them reduces to the standard solution
for doing heavy real-time work on any time-sharing system:  buy a satellite
processor to do the hard stuff.  Who cares what's running in the satellite?
