Hi experts,

I have the following problem: At our university lab we have a
transputer-based measurement control system with software written by
another guy some time ago (I can describe the setup more detailed in case
it is needed). I have upgraded a 4MByte T805 TRAM module to 16MB, and the
problem is that the iserver program now stops with an error message:
"Couldn't load byte 2323 into boot link" or some such. This ONLY happens
when I actually tell the system about the 16MB in the .pgm file; when I
leave it at 4MB, everythinhg runs like before.

I have all those red INMOS folders with all the documentation and am
somewhat familiar with occam programming; the problem is that I lack a
deeper understanding of what actually happens when the system tries to
boot the transputer network. Maybe someone in this group is familiar with
this sort of problem. 

The upgraded TRAM is (together with another one) on a B008 board inside a
PC. Two more transputers are linked to this externally.

I appreciate any help/comments,

--Daniel
