I've created a Transputer Museum, that is also an informal place to buy and sell related hardware. Nothing complicated, just a place to put images in a shared place. I'm sure that many XCore fans will be interested.
Please feel free to upload pics of your own Transputer modules/projects.

I have been looking for some cheap transputer hardware on ebay for some time.
Haven't had much luck yet, there's quite some for sale but at mind stumbling prices.

A good childhood friend joined inmos. I was very fortunate to get a couple of dev boards from him and self taught myself Occam (Over 20 years ago..).
My dream.... would be to see XMoss cpu's fill that missing gap some time in the future.

I have about 256 IMS-B426 TRAMS (T805-30 and 4MB RAM) and 16 TRAM-carrier motherboards (IMS B012) in my basement. I built the system in the late 80s and when the last PhD candidate finished using it, the school gave it to me.I have been looking for some cheap transputer hardware on ebay for some time.

I've been thinking about selling off some of the pieces, but I no longer have a PC interface needed to run the hardware tests, so that I can confirm that the modules are good.

Whoops. I finally got around to checking - the processor is the T800C-G20S. We used the T805s in another project.

Has anybody developed a transputer link interface for one of the XMOS development boards (XC-1 perhaps)? I'd like to try to boot some of my boards and run the distributed processor and memory tests.
