What a great blast from the past! I remember memorizing the t800 Inmos instruction set and the link between chips was amazing especially because you could load your bootstrap code over it. Years later I was surprised to find a t225 in a serial console server I picked up at auction. What a weird application for that chip!
Hi! Thanks so much for commenting. It's amazing where Transputers ended up being used. I love the 'bootstrap load' feature too. Can you still remember the ISA?
I don't .. it was a long time ago but I still have 'the transputer book' somewhere..
I later moved on to the i860 vector processor and *again* the transputer showed up on a hybrid system .. the only reference I can find is a paid for article
