LynxOS as a VMWare VM?

My organization will be testing a system for a customer, and some of their components are workstations that run LynxOS 4.2.  I have zero experience with real-time operating systems. Normally when we test systems for customers, we emulate their Windows and Unix/Linux systems as VMWare VM's, but I am unsure if this RTOS will install and operate as a VMware 5.5 VM.  I haven't had much luck finding a definitive answer on this.  I understand that LynxOS is not a supported OS, but I haven't yet been able to determine if it will actually work as a VMWare VM or not.  Has anyone ever attempted this?  I realize there may be performance differences running a RTOS in VMWare, even if it does work. But for our testing purposes, achieving those same response times isn't a priority.
