an 8-pin
minidin connector for its link (compatible to apples printer
cables). Is there any way for me to connect these nodes to an inmos B008
motherboard's 37-way external connector?? Thanks.
If they're standard Transputer links, then sure. Have you tried tracing
the pins on the 8 pin miniDINs to see what they're connected to (like
link pins on the transputer)? Reset/error/analyse could be harder to
trace (since they'll possibly go to PALs), but you should be able to
figure something out by which are inputs/outputs.
Actually, I have full details on how to connect (with pinouts) TEKs to other
transputer motherboards including INMOS', but not the INMOS B008.
Apparently, the specs mention a 5x1 connector (or is it a 5x2) on inmos
boards that can be used to connect the TEK to, but since I don't have a B008
yet (coming in the mail anytime now), I can't verify if this type of
connector exists on it. I will send out full details once I am at home with
all the pinouts etc.
