It contains about 12 B014 boards with 8 transputers each. A really nice system to do serious parallel processing. Unfortunately, I am in the US and he is in the UK. It is quite heavy to transport. So if you or anybody is interested (and willing to pay for it as well as having it shipped), let me know and I'll re-direct you to him. For general transputer-based stuff, visit my webpage at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/1190.

My first transputer board were the CSA transputer education kit that I bought when I was doing my BS in Computer Science. It was about $350 for the first board and $250 for the second. Afterwards, I obtained two more used CSA boards, B008, B020, and a bunch of trams. Now I have the Xplorer. The Microway stuff was a dream when I was going to school (especially the number smasher i860). Well, in the US, it is extremely *RARE*. Most of the installations were universities and aerospace industries that had them. There weren't that many either. Most used the TI DSP chips, MasPar, etc for parallel processing.
