I don't know this one - my experience of
transputers is restricted to
genuine INMOS TRAMs and homebrew boards. Of course a 50 pin IDC could be
a number of things...
My first question is what chips are on the board (on both sides...) Any
large chips apart from the T8?
I was mistaken it is a T225 chip and apparently it might be a SCSI Tram.
However, I don't see any NCR scsi chip or any other chip that might be SCSI
related. The only other chip I see is a chip from Logic. I wonder if that
is the SCSI controller.

being it is size-4, I am leaning towards SCSI-2. INMOS made SCSI-1 trams
that were size-2 prior to this board (but it used the NCR53C94), so is my
prediction correct??? And which chip is better NCR53C94 or the
NCR5380 clone??

That is a pretty big tram for SCSI-1. Especially since INMOS designed a SCSI-1
tram (IMSB422, if I remember correctly) that was size-2 during the same period, IIRC
I know a lot of the SCSI-2 trams (early ones) were size-4. I guess I am wrong.

I thought the 5380 was normally used for SCSI-1 applications.

New subject: DB62 PC Bracket
Hi,
Thanks for all the help. I ordered a DB37 PC bracket for my
transputer/fpga/dsp card and it fitted correctly. It is now inside
my PC. Thanks again
