Probably the easiest thing to find -- note I did not say it was easy to
find, but it's more common than many of the other boards -- is a B004.
This is a full-length ISA crd with a link adapter chip (connected to the
ISA bus), a T4 or T8 transputer (the T8 has a built-in FPU, they are pin
compatible, you vcan pull one and stick in the otehr and some DRAM. The
connecto no the rear bracked carries the trasnptuer links from that
transputer and the host adapter chip. Normally you fit a jumper to connec
the host adapter to one of the links on the on-board trnasputer and then
connect the other 3 links to the rest of your hardware, but you don't
have to do that.
Do not ask me where to find one, though:-)

Ah... Are you saying that you don't ahve any
form of link adapter. That
is a mahor problem.
No link adapter.
My sgugestions is that you look out for some kind
of host card with a
link adapter on it. That will get you started.
I suppose getting a link adapter is
as hard as to get Transputers. So
