Hi, I've the following rather urgent questions about the transputer and was wondering if someone can answer them, since the INMOS datasheets that I have seem not to give the necessary info. In the occam memory map addresses #9 to #12 (18 decimal) on the T4 and #9 to #1C (28 decimal) are reserved. What values are stored in each address? When the timer ticks (for either clock value) a process MAY become runnable. If this occurs is it placed on the run queue then, or when the transputer next performs a process rescheduling? (i.e. is the clock fully asynchronous or does it only check timer expiry the transputer is doing process manipulation?) Many thanks, Kevin
