For all those who want to connect a transputer system as a SCSI peripheral device to a workstation: I had a discussion with a representative of Cresco Data (the company manufacturing transputer hardware and software for Apollo workstations, one of the fastest AT-to-link interfaces I've ever seen!) in April or so. He said that they are seriously considering such an arrangement (i.e. transputer boxes which boot from and communicate to a host via a SCSI interface), but there is nothing to be announced yet. Perhaps ask them again? I'm afraid that they are not on the net. The following is from PVR's address file: Cresco Data A/S, Oresundvej 148, +45 31 55 42 70 DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Fax: +45 31 55 01 53 Denmark -- transputer products for Apollo workstations -- UK: Greenbank House, Whalley Road, Sabden, Blackburn BB6 9DT, +44 254 822 314 -- Fax: +44 254 823 064 Hope that helps, please post on this list if they really have such an interface!
