Hi all,
I am attempting to get Helios running on a 64-core T805-based Transputer
array. This is a one-of-a-kind system with a custom case. It uses a
single-board 486DX with 8MB of RAM on an ISA card for the host system. The
PC front end runs Windows 3.1 or MS-DOS 6. There are eight T805s on eight
custom cards. It doesn't use TRAMs, but I have a feeling these are wired
like such on the board. Pictures of the system can be found here:

I've been getting all of my Helios editions from
http://www.classiccmp.org/transputer/helios.htm. I first tried version 1.1,
and after copying the contents over to the hard drive from a single floppy
disk, running the server results in an error:
ns : Incompatible version of Rmap 6e627573
ns : error is fatal, exiting.
I finally got 1.31 working on the system by downloading another DOS
executable of the server and playing with some configurations. I also used
ispy and mtest to see the structure of the system, which uses several C004
cross links. Unfortunately, ispy only reports a single T805-25 processor
connected to the host at address 0x150.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the other 63 T805s and several C004s
aren't showing up?
Thanks in advance,
Kyle
