Im just going to say (after re-reading the listing):

I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys that (at least) all the TRAMS work ok.

Thanks @mrbombermillzy - provided the Transputer itself is OK on the TRAM, then there are modern alternatives to pretty much all the other components.

Best of all if some or all are fully functional though! :D

Neodesk 4 and Geneva look pretty good on the ATW800/2 transputer card. :)

Really nice card. I was a few minutes late ordering one again... :(

Were do you guys get the transputer modules...?
Or is there a diy pcb as I can find cpu's on ebay.

The ATW guys supply TRAM's at cost-price for those who are ordering the card. There's no DIY PCB because Geekdot are the only ones to have engineered their own. The CPU's are quite available on ebay from various places.

Pretty sure transputer modules are included in the 2nd batch now?

Ok thanks for the info.

Maybe I have more luck with batch 3.

So you have the virtual one in the fpga and two real ones on the sockets..
I’m however not really sure what to do with them besides calculating fractals.
What software stuff is available for this parallel processor goodness.
