braner@batcomputer...... writes that he has it on good authority that one and two C004s in a T800--T800 link do not slow down the data-rate. Unfortunately, this is not correct. One C004 slows the link down by about 20%, two devices by about 40%. As to the story about IBM buying 5E+100 transputers or whatever, this was a misprint in "Computergram". IBM do however have quite a few transputer projects, some of which are documented publicly. One of these uses quite a few processors, but not 50,000 !
