Once in the day I thought Inmos and their transputer

interesting. I had an idea of doing som sort of project. But of course
there were no real time to be found to do anything (not sure if this has
changed today).
While browsing for something else I found someone at Ebay in Germany
selling T400 in 68 pin PLCC.

They do come up from time to time. A lot of 38 T800s(?) was sold recently.
Are there tools (Occam etc) around to do anything with these today?
Yes, quite a few are archived on Ram's site:

I've also long been interested in a Transputer SBC project, having used
them back in the late 1980s. While the Transputer requires very little
supporting circuitry you might want to pick up a C011 (I'm not an expert
and haven't built an SBC - this was advice from Dave McGuire).
