Is the B012 jut a TRAM motherboard then, taking power form the VME bus
and bringing the links out on (I asusme) the B connector? I've never used

I don;t know the B012. I assume it has some kind
of host interface
I don't think it does; I think you'll need a host interface of
some sort. circuity (look for C011 or C012 chipss) and maybe
some link switches
(C004 chips).
C011 or C012 chips are "link adaptors" that convert a parallel
CPU bus to the serial transputer link system. C004 chips are
crossbar switches for transputer links. Ah... Are you saying that you don't ahve any
form of link adapter. That
is a mahor problem. I would trty to find something -- IIRC a B011 is a
VME card with a transputer nad link adapter on it, there's the B004 for
the ISA bus, etc. You cna then link the RRAMs together and hang it off
the host card.
B004 or B008 are host interfaces for ISA bus. B012 and B014
are host interfaces for VME (typically Sun VME). B016 is a
