I really dont
have any preference to a serial chip other than 
 that it should be
  reliable and easy to source.  I have no spare T2s
either.  All 
 the spares I have
  are the T400 (2-link) transputers. 
 I've never used one of those. I may have the odd spare T414 (or maybe
 even a T8 of some kind) that I can use for this project, though. I
 wouldn't be hard to convert the design to use other transputers, of
 course.
 
 Sure that seems fine.  I also realized the T400s would be a mess as it would
break the pipeline on a B008.  Some extrnal ram would be nice.  How about
64K of SRAM.  That should be plenty for most work I would think.
  I don't know who owns the copyright on the
transputer card I designed (T4
 or T8 + 256K DRAM + interfaces to some custom hardware), but if it's me,
 or I can get permission to hand it round, I'd be happy to release it for
 non-commerical use. I will look into this sometime.
 
That would be nice.  I dont have any freely releasable transputer card
designs.  People always ask me where they can get transputer cards, with a
design spec, they can build one themselves.  Thanks Tony.  I really
appreciate it.
