The board is supposed to have buffers for each of the transputers and separately mappable registers for each of the transputers so you could do DMA to each of the transputers on the board. Also I believe that they intend to provide interrupts on the VME bus for i/o. Sounds like it'll beat the pants off our B011. Our contact with C.S.A. is: Glen Lowery (801)374-2300 Provo Utah, U.S.A. csa@adam.byu.edu P.S. We have several of their P.C. boards hanging off our B011 in our sun and are very pleased with the performance and price of their boards. =============================================================================== Paul Smith Internet: paul@amos.ling.ucsd.edu UUCP: ...ucbvax!sdcsvax!amos!paul Bitnet: pssmith@ucsd.bitnet
