convince him I could make it do something cool, and
eventually in an
effort to do something cool with my own transputer hardware. I'm still
working on it (slowly) 10 years later.
I really must do somethign with my transputer stuff again. My Ph.D. work
involved a couple of hom-ebuilt transputer boards, and I found them one
of the easierst CPUs to design hardware round that I have ever used.
Since then I've obtained a fair amount ot transputer stuff myself, not
just the normal PC-hosted boards, but also an ITEM (Inmos Tranputer
Evaluation Machine, a Sun 3 traansputer motherboard with a number of T800
TRAMs on it, asn quite a few other TRAMs, including SCSI, GPIB, VecTRAM, etc.
turely an interestign processor...
