Does anyone have a working Inmos B011 Transputer card. i.e one which will
act a a VME master, a VME slave, pass the TDS network tester program and
pass on the IACKIN/OUT VMEbus signals without corrupting them, and even
have the 2Mbytes of dram working ???????

We have four of them, two originals which have different errors, and two
brand new, shining replacements especially shipped to us beacause the
first two don't work. And guess what, only one works !!!!

Are we alone in our problems ?
Is a 75% failure rate normal ?
