[comp.sys.transputer] B008 on the Sun 386i

wardc@banana.cse.eng.auburn.edu (Christopher Ward) (11/29/90)

We are currently attempting to use the Inmos B008 IBM PC toolset for a
transputer system on a Sun 386i.  We own the Imos Sun 386i device driver
and iserver software (but not the sun toolset) and have installed the
device as a loadable module rather than a kernel modification.  We have
run dos to unix on the text files.  Use of the i-server suppiled by
Inmos for the sun386i sometimes reports protocol errors when used, for
example when we download the compiler occam.b4h to compile programs.
Some programs compile but others give either a "packet size to large" or
"not enough bytes" (generally 2!)  error. Programs that compile seem to
work ok.  Has any one else had these problems and/or perhaps knows a
fix???

Also, does anyone have an "afserver" for the Sun 386i that will allow us
to use the 3L PC C on our sun 386i.

Thanks for your interest.

Chris Ward
