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.

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. If some people are interested, please contact: Louis AUDOIRE and Jean-Jacques CODANI INRIA BP 105 78153 Le-Chesnay Cedex FRANCE email: audoire@inria.inria.fr, codani@inria.inria.fr PS: We have developped some softwares (TDS ``emacs-like'' on Unix) and are currently working on implementation of Lisp (Le-Lisp) on Transputers.
