[comp.sys.transputer] iserver - afserver compatibility

lr@cs.brown.edu (Luigi Rizzo) (03/07/91)

Does anyone have reference/information about the compatibility of
afserver and iserver ? Is the protocol across the link totally
different, or there is a chance to run AFSERVER-based programs
with ISERVER ?
	Thanks

The protocol is completely different.  However INMOS had an occam
protocol translator at one point.  I have no idea if they would 
make it available.
