A current research project in our department is the development of a network tester to look at system configuration and link activity. We have studied the various example programs supplied within the occam TDS system but we can not find any reference to how we could use a worm program to identify the type of processors in the system ie T800 or T414 etc. Can any one help ?

The lddevid (load device identity) loads the A register with an integer that depends on the transputer type. My spec of it says that its a NO-OP on the T414a, T414b, T212a and T222c On the T800b, T800c and T800d it leaves the A register undefined, and pops the value of C into B. On the most up-to-date transputers it loads a value into A as follows: T425 0-9 (there is a range of values for each type) T805 10-19 T801 20-29 T225 40-49 The details are in the second edition of the INMOS "Transputer Databook" Ian Graham, University of Waikato, NZ
