   Didn't
someone also make Clipper and/or
 Transputer boards for the PC?  
 Transputer ones certainly existed; IIRC seeing one (I think it was Inmos 
 themselves) which supported plug-in TRAM modules at the far end of the board 
 (I had a photo of it too, but can't find where I've filed it right now) 
There  are certainly transputer boards for the PC. The most common in my 
experience si the B004, which is am ISA card with a T4 or T8 chip on it, 
rows of DIP DRAM, the link interface and ISA bus logic and not a lot 
else. It has the nromal link connectors on the rear bracket so you can 
hang more transputers off it. There's at least one non-INMOS clone of 
this board.

There was also a TRAM motherboard for the PC. I forget the number 
(B008?) It has the link interface (with ISA logic) and IIRC a C004 link 
swithc on it. You can fill it with TRAMs (TRAnsputer Modules, the 
simplest being transputer + RAM, but ones iwth SCSI, GPIB, ethernet, etc 
interfaces exist, as does one with a vector processor chip (alongside the 
transputer).
