MTOS-68k is a real-time multitasking operating system designed for the popular MC68000 microprocessors. It aproaches task coordination and synchronization in a fashion that matches uniquely the structural simplicity and regularity of the 68000 instruction set. Since in many 68000 applications the speed and power of one CPU are not enough, MTOS-68k has been designed to support multiple processors, as well as multiple tasks. Typically, the devices are tightly coupled single-board computers, that is they share a backplane and parts of global memory.
