Hey,
The B020 that I have has two connectors on it. One, I am assuming is the
15-pin VGA connector. There is also another connector which looks like a
9-pin EGA connector. Is this correct? How do you connect the B020 to the
B008 to make one network instead of two. I will be getting all the support
software for the B020 soon. I know Tony has one, so I will be sending him a
copy. Does anyone else want one?
Also, apparently to use trams greater than size 1, I need jumper pins on the
unused tram slots. Where can I get these?? Does anyone have several spares
that they are not using???? Thanks.

Geez, that really bites. Oh well, I tried connecting four size 1 trams to the
B020
tram slots, but it apparently only sees the first and second tram slots. The
third
and the fourth are not recognized. Do you know why that would happen?? Maybe
a jumper problem???
Stacking trams is a really neat why to fully populate the motherboard. I didn't
know you could do that. Well, I now just need the jumper pins (I got a few, but
not enough). Does the jumperpins go to both the top (1 to 8) and bottom (9 to
16) pins of the tram
slot, or only to pin 1 to 8. The only problem with stacking trams is you can
not
put another card next to the B008. It is pretty fat and occupys the ajacent
ISA slot on
the PC.

IIRC (and I still can't find my prints for it), the 15 pin connector is
VGA out (to a monitor) and the 9 pin one is analogue (VGA) video _in_.
The thing can switch the monitor between its own video and the external input
B008 to make one network instead of two. I will
be getting all the support
Hang on, I've thought where I put those diagrams... Here we are ... They
don't quite match my PCB, but they're a good start.
You were asking about SIMMs. You can use 256K*8 or 1M*8 ones. Fit J3 for
1M ones, J4 for 256K ones. These links are near the lower edge of the
board and are labelled in the silk-screen.
OK, there's a CO12 link adapter on the board. It's link can be switched
in software either to the on-board T4 (link 0) or to the TRAM sockets.
The TRAM also talks to the other 3 links of the T4 on-board.
There's also an optional 8-pin mini-DIN on the rear edge of the card. The
pinout seems to be :
1 Error/ (in)
2 Analyse (out)
3 Tram2 Link 2 out
4 Ground
5 Tram2 Link 2 in
6 T425 link1 out
7 Reset (out)
8 T425 link 1 in
You should be able to link other transputers to it.
