Is there anyone who has or has heard of a transputer board, usable via a SCSI interface (a way to avoid AT-bus or VME-bus card) ? Anyone planing on doing one ? Fred.

Except if it is actually written, no one is responsible but me for what i write. ___________________________________________________________________________ DESPOIX Frederic, despoix@imag.imag.fr Laboratoire de Genie Informatique despoix@imag Domaine Universitaire uunet.uu.net!imag!despoix Bat M047 B.P. 68 38402 SAINT MARTIN D'HERES CEDEX France

We plan to developp such a board (SCSI). The main features should be:
- add-in-box oriented (i.e. must be connected to a host)
- standalone box (power inside)
- if possible, support single ended termination (i.e. like MacIntosh) and
differential mode termination (i.e. Sun ...) ... and others
ANSI X3.131-1986 compatible
- 4 links (Inmos and/or RS422 Parsytec connectic (long cables up to 10m))
- NCR SCSI controller and T222 (225 ?) Transputer EEPROM booted and SRAM
- possibility to add TRAMS (# 4 ?) on board allowing the board to be
usuable for developments.
- Software will be first available on Sun, Sony and NeXT machines.

PS: We have developped some softwares (TDS ``emacs-like'' on Unix) and
are currently working on implementation of Lisp (Le-Lisp) on Transputers.
