I am posting this message on behalf of David Boreham of Inmos Ltd. It is about the Inmos B014 VME board, that was not in my survey of VME boards.

The B014 was, unlike the B011, designed by my group here at INMOS. Adding to the recent VMEbus transputer boards items: INMOS recently announced a new VMEbus TRAM (Transputer Module) Motherboard. This board is designed for adding up to eight processors per board to VMEbus systems and has IMS C004 link-switches and a simple link interface to the VMEbus (interrupting slave). It is called the IMS B014 and is available now. I personally would be very interested to hear the opinions of anyone out there who is using or thinking of using transputers in either VMEbus or Multibus II systems. I would like to hear what kinds of systems are being built and what kinds of boards you would like to see in the future.
