Remember in 1986, Europe had one of the most powerfull micro-processor for making Unix workstation! However the lacks of this processor in terms of memory protection and memory management had prevent such thing .... It was the T800.

At the Transputer Applications '90 conference at Southampton University Ian Pearson, MD of INMOS, did not say much about the E series, but did give the following rough timescale: 1986 1987 1888 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 ----------------------------------------------------------- T212 T222 T225 T414 T424 T425 T-series ASICS T800 T400 T805 H1 H2 Hx T801 H-series ASICS Exx So, available 1993 sometime, and a completely different architechture to the transputer. As ever, not much information given. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Netherwood janet : P.J.Netherwood@uk.ac.kingston Research internet : P.J.Netherwood@kingston.ac.uk phone : (+44) 81 549 1366 ext 2923 local : cs_s424@ux.king School of Computer Science and Electronic Systems, |/ingston |>olytechnic, Penrhyn Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey KT1 2EE, UK. |\--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- \
