[Bosch? Transputer board]
The only Inmos chip on the board appears to be the
Transputer chip
itself (A T800). There's a fair amount of TTL stuff, a couple of GALs,
four 256kbit RAM chips, an AMD 9513, and then the A/D stuff.
Given there are no EPROMs/ROMs, I assume the transputer runs its internal
bootstrap code -- which boots it from a trasnputer link. And since
there's no link adapter chip on the board (to make one from TTL would be
plain crazy IMHO), I think it's safe to assume this board worked with
some external host adapter.
