Can anyone suggest a few good references on the Transputer architecture?  I'm
doing a short research paper on this for my computer architecture class; I'd
like to find out about the basic structure of the Transputer without getting
into too many details.  Any suggestions on good sources (and where I might
find them) would be greatly appreciated.
                                        Thanks in advance,
                                        Michael Erickson

	I'm interested in the architecture as well as the operating system. 
I'd would like to find out about the basic structure of the Transputer
and the OCCAM operating system. What does OCCAM stand for? Does it
know what tasks it can distribute among the processors or does a master
processor in the system determine task management??

--please add me to the transputer mailing list.

Thanks in Advance,
