Howeve,r Inmos's doecumatiuon was very complete, and IIRC even included
things like the PAL equations (it certainly included a schematic). There
was an occam compiler, etc that ran on the trnasputer system so the host
PCB essentially became a terminal and fileserver. IIRC the protocol for
this was docuemtned.
I don;t see why your couldn't write a sutiable host program for any
machine/OS and runn the trasputer-hosted tools.
I'm hoping to do something along those lines myself. I have a T805
about halfway wire-wrapped onto a Z80 SBC that I have running Forth.
Unfortunately it's at home in Florida and I'm still stuck in West "By
God" Virginia, so it'll be a while before I can finish it, but I have
Big Plans(tm).
