Sadly, the transputer is dead. Well not quite true, it has matured into an embedded processor only available to large OEM customers making STB's.

Download the data sheets, compare to the T8/4 datasheets and it is a transputer :-) >However, see earlier posts in this news group for transputer-like follow >on hardware and other occam platforms. > >-- >Alec Cawley Richard.
