Hello everbody, I am doing a survey of operating systems developed for transputers. What I need is pointers to any documentation/publication of such OS developed commercially and/or by academic/research community. I will post a summary of replies to this newsgroup. Thanks, rasit -- +------------------------------------+------------------------+---------------+ | M.

Hi folks,
Here is a brief summary of my findings on the operating systems
for transputers (in random order). I've requested some documentation
from the vendors and I was thinking to compile a summary, but
it seems I have to wait for a while. So, I've decided to post the
following "preliminary" information.
If you feel that I omit some work/product, please let me know.
Thanks.
rasit
