Sorry for top-posting and not trimming, earlier. Kinda out of the

I can see some similarity of the 900 series CRU
I/O to the Inmos
Transputer serial links, but I've never heard of them referred to as
Transputers. The 960 was called a "bit pusher", though.
Looked similar to me, too. I was just curious if an interest in
Transputers
had sprung up. Maybe 20 years ago I had boxes of them and even the
ones that went into Sun-3's. I couldn't even give them away. Don't
remember
what happened to them at this point. Might have thrown them in with
stuff
I gave to a couple of fledgling museums.
