I am working with a 386 25mhz machine with vga graphics. To rotate a globe in arbitrary directions, with a map of the world, is my goal, where the globe has a diameter of about 500 pixels, with about 10K white pixels (for country borders) on a blue circle, with black borders around the circle. My machine may lack the power to display 30 frames/sec, and compute the 3d transformations of all of the points, so I read about a transputer in a Byte article of about a year ago. Apart from that article and reading about 10 news items in this group, I have no more experience with transputers. Could some kind soul(s) give me some pointers as to available transputer cards, good books on transputers and Occam, the (im?)possibility of accomplishing this goal on my machine with a brand x transputer? Thanks! ark2!rvp
