Has anyone out there had any experience with the transputer-based system built by a company called Topologix? There are four transputers to a board, and the boards can supposedly be plugged in directly to a Sun, limited primarily by the number of slots available. There is an operating system called LogixOS which runs natively on the transputers and on top of SunOS on the host. In fact, it is claimed that LogixOS can be used to run parallel applications across a network of Sun workstations, without even using the transputers. Is this a good product? I would be interested in experiences, both pro and con, as well any performance data which may be available.
