 Several questions.
 1. Which is the best way to get a fast communication bandwidth
  between transputer and other microprocessors, say 68020 or 80386, etc.?
  It seems that there was two approach, say dual ported RAM approach
  and serial link adaptor to parallel bus. Is there any better way?
  Other communcation chip(say Intel's) will be helpful? 
  Why serial link adaptor is so slow as we see from Meiko board or
  serial link of Niche board? Can't we get better performance 
  c011 or c012?

 2. Does anybody have an experience of ethernet interface of Transputer?
  I was told Meiko and Telmat have. Any comment anout their product?
