Today i've added a YARC Systems transputer board to my little IBM-AT coprocessor card
collection :-)
Unfortunately, there was no documentation and software included ...
... and YARC Systems seems to be out of business for at least 2 years ...
Does anyone have documentation/software for that little beauty ?
Thanks Bernd

You might try YARC's former CEO, Trevor Marshall. His web site is
http://www.trevormarshall.com/. Trevor is an engineer and was involved with
designing YARC products. He's also a great guy and will probably help you
out if he can.

Hi Mike,
thanks for that information ...
... i didn't know, that he was involved with YARC ...
... i tried to get in contact with him, requesting information for my Definicon board, but
i never got
a response from him, but i will try again ...

Ah, I saw this board on Ebay... :-)

This is a
common problem with transputer based hardware...
Does anyone have documentation/software for that
little beauty ?
No, but most PC-Transputer-Boards where compatible to the
Inmos B004 interface.
On Ram's Transputer Homepage you should find a lot of software for
this interface (http://www.classiccmp.org/transputer)
I'm writing a Linux based development environment for transputers.
Currently only the B004 driver and the assembler are operational.
If you find any useful information regarding the interface of your
board I would be very interested...
bye
