Filesystems: I am presently in the preliminary phase of designing a filesystem for Trollius which will run on an array of disks slung off of transputer nodes. A few weeks ago a number of people expressed an interest in SCSI disks in transputer networks. I am very interested in hearing from people who are presently involved in or are planning to get involved in filesystem software development inorder to discuss various approaches to distributed disk systems on transputer nodes. GNU: I've recently heard rumors that there is a transputer back-end for the GNU C compiler. If you have information concerning this, or you are interested in investigating a transputer back-end for the GNU compiler please let me know. We are very interested in using this as our compiler for the Trollius operating system and are investigating this possibility. If it doesn't already exist, and the idea is feasible, then maybe we can initiate a collabration among interested parties to work on it. David L.
