> I don't mean to sound gloomy about it, but this problem really is a 'singularity' that can't be worked around without some form of additional hardware support. If it could, someone would have done it 25 years ago and we'd all be using it. Don't believe me? Check out OS-9 on the 6809 machines. It's extremely Unix-like, and actually superior to Unix on smaller machines whilst providing ostensibly the same functionality. It's a phenomenal achievement.

Or...

You can adopt something like a time share routine.  A good routine that recognizes mouse movement, keyboard input and has two reserved JSR locations to tap into while waiting for input.  It is much easier to program and for the most part will achieve the same results.

I don't think anyone would even know that your program does not use interrupts.  Unless you told them.  ":0

The only thing I use interrupts for is the seconds on the clock.  Everything else in my programs use "wait for input" share.
