[comp.sys.transputer] Cheap Transputer Hypercubes?

js7a+@andrew.cmu.edu (James Price Salsman) (10/23/89)

Is anyone selling sets of 16 T-800's arranged in a 4x4
hypercube configuration for less than it would cost to
get four INMOS B003s and a cardcage?

The last time I looked, B003's were US$3316 (for four
T-800's at 20MHz with 256Kb.)  Eurocard card cages are                      es aNOT cheap, though, and I wondered if anyone was
reselling with their own package and power supply.

Once unbeknownst to me, it turns out that B003's do not NEED cardcages,
just 5 volts. It's a good thing that somebody at INMOS reads this
newsgroup.  Also, the cost I mentioned is probably obsolete (in that
they're cheaper now.)
