[comp.sys.transputer] Anybody have experience with CSA products???

Hi,

I have been looking for an inexpensive way to get my hands
on a transputer for some years now.  Recently, I received
an ad from Computer System Architects (CSA) in Utah.  They
advertise a T400 board (20Mz) with T400 C and Occam for $236.  It
plugs into some form of PC.  (I believe you must by 1M Dram
[$110] to run the Occam).  Since this is certainly affordable
(i.e. < $thousands for Inmos's stuff) I'm contemplating getting
one.  If nothing else it would give me a development environment
with which to build my own array.

It seems too good to be true.  Does anybody have any experience
with this company or product?  Does anybody know of any other
good "bargins?"

Thanks,
Craig Reese
