What is a transputer.
How does it work.
What will it cost.
Can it work on the Amiga 2000 and 500.
When and how can i get one.
Thank You

Amiga World, Dec. 1989 In a full page ad from Digital Animation Productions: "Imagine being able to create the most powerful artwork on the Amiga. In 16 Million Colors. With Unlimited Resolution. Imagine 24-bit RAM animation, NTSC/PAL, RS178, Analog RGB/Composite video, 10 RISC MIPS/1.5/MFLOPS, 19 MB/S drawing speed, 8MB BLIT Operations. For more performance, the graphics board connects to our Transputer Processor Boards, each capable of a max performance of 120 RISC MIPS. Each transputer chip is capable of addressing four gigabytes of memory. Unlimited expandability." Ahhhh, eat your heart out Seymour Cray. This is a Boston-based company. I'll probably drop in for a demo in a few days and I'll report what I've seen. Stay tuned...

Like most Amigans, I'm very excited about this transputer board. But what kind of ninny noop takes out a full page ad for a graphics transputer board and doesn't include any PHOTOS?

It has been confirmed -- It was shown at the AmiExpo in Cologne. adam

If you have any questions on the board, give me a call 508-476-2143. I'm one
of the few people in the US who have actually programmed the thing! It's
incredible, 16.7 million colors. Also, if anyone knows of a public access
USENET feed in the eastern US, please post it here or call me, this node in
california is going down soon.
