Well, I never worked with T9K processors either,
but I do distinctly
remember my awe-turned-revulsion several years ago when the reality
of the T9K became clear. (This is visceral from memory - if you
need details I'll have to get out my T9 books.)
I attended two (maybe the last two) Transputer
User's Group conventions,
and in the first of these, everyone was abuzz with news of the T9s.
But the chips were delayed and delayed and by the time of the second
convention, many of the "ooohs" had turned into "ewww" (the sound
one
makes involuntarily when driving past a dead skunk on the highway.)
But now I'm wondering even more than before -- what exactly did you hate
about the T9 series? You've only piqued my curiosity. -- Derek
