Subject: Contents overview of Transputer Applications Noteboo k

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

Ram That title seems to ring a bell. Somewhere I have the full set of the documentation and software that came with the CSA transputer kit. I also have a set of the boards that go in the PC. One board is a single t805 with the PC interface the other contains 4 T805's that can be connected via jumper cables. 5-6 years ago I modeled several ultrasound algorithms using the transputer to see if parallel processing using the transputer would produce real-time images. The kit came with reprints of several transputer and occam articles. I also researched what others had done and got reprints of their articles. My local public library has a book on creating applications using the transputer. I'll try and dig up more this weekend. Mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu

What do you people use for tape cleaning ?

Hi, Can someone provide me with the contents overview of the following book if you have it: Transputer Applications Notebook - Systems & Performance It is basically a collection of technical notes from INMOS. I need to know if there are any technical notes that are in this book that are NOT in the following two books: Inmos Technical Notes Inmos Communicating Sequential Processes Thanks, Ram

I also have that cleaning kit, but both (totally empty) bottles are marked "Freon TF"... But I still love my genuine IBM Tape Unit Cleaner, "Contains Trichlorotrifluoroethane, isopropyl alcohol." Should I ever run out of tape drives to clean, just add water and then its Sterno, hehe Will J _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Wang VS-100 system

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

John, Yes, I got around 3 or 4 of them, but those boards were all I/O boards, memory, and maybe a disk controller.. All that Intel parts do in those machines is run I/O... the CPU is custom. The CPU in my VS300 appears to be made of 74AS881 4-bit ALU's and other 74xx parts, as well as 29xx parts. 32 bits, by the way.

Wang VS-100 system

by ip500＠home.com

Anyone using or hacking a Wang VS-100 system for anything these days? I ran across a very complete looking one in a storage building but as it's reasonably huge I've left it for the time being. O/S is unique to Wang is it not? Too proprietary to be of any use? Thanks, Craig

Wang VS-100 system

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

I'd say it must be the 100 that requires the boot console, as the 300 has a console built into it. Heck, the 300 is like an 11/780, i.e. has 2 computers in one, since it contains an entire Wang PC as the console/front end.

I can say for sure that my 2200MVP's floppy drives use them, as all of the software and floppies I have for it are Wang hard-sector floppies... Will J _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
